Gábor commented on AMBARI-1562:
-------------------------------

Can you tell me where you saw this error message? Maybe in /var/log/ambari-server/ambari-server.log or /var/log/ambari-agent/ambari-agent.log?
I suspect that I have met this issue but I'm not sure. Sometimes my install process goes wrong but I didn't found any exception in this log files.

> During Agent bootstrap + registration (the Confirm Hosts step), and during cluster Install/Start/Test, there is a chance the hosted stack repositories or the EPEL repository can timeout, giving an error "no more mirrors".
> This causes the host to be marked "fail" which can be concerning to the user.
> 1) we should trap this timeout error specifically and auto-retry. The timeout might only be temporary and will work on retry.
> 2) After a certain amount of retries, we should produce a specific "fail" message for the end user to help troubleshoot.
