If you want to prevent the powersaving power saving feature of a monitor directly connected to a CAStor storage node, you can add the following kernel option to the APPEND line in either the syslinux.cfg file on the CAStor USB key or in the PXE boot configuration file:

consoleblank=0

This configuration parameter will tell the kernel to stop blanking the console. This feature defaults to 10 minutes. A value of 0 disables the blank timer.

Example:


label normal
kernel profiles/castor-live/kernel
append initrd=profiles/castor-live/fsimage 
CONSOLEBLANK=0 
ramdisk_size=128000 
root=/dev/ram0
castor_cfg=http://CAStorConfigurationServer/castor/castor1.txt
