Closed: Invalid Opened by gkapoor.

Closed: Invalid
Reopen Issue

While configuring subsystems(with ECC) using pkispawn it takes large amount of
time.
For installing KRA, it took 18 minutes nearly and for other subsystems also it
is taking long time.

Steps to Reproduce:

1.Use the configuration file attached
2.use pkispawn in silent mode and install all subsystems.
3.Monitor logs and timestamp to see how much time it took.

Actual results:

Installation is very slow.Takes sometimes 35 minutes also.

Expected results:

Installation of subsystems should be quicker

Additional Information:

The logs and cfg files used are attached to the associated bug.

The issue turned out to be a lack of entropy on a VM.

This was addressed by using haveged as a work-around.
