    Description

      On SuSE11, the same sysvinit script as used for RHEL6 is being installed.
      On RHEL6, this contains the chkconfig header specifying that ambari-server and
      ambari-agent services should start as late as possible:
      head -2 /etc/init.d/ambari-server
      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      chkconfig: 345 95 20
      head -2 /etc/init.d/ambari-agent
      #!/usr/bin/env bash
      chkconfig: 345 95 20
      However, these instructions are not honored by Suse, leading to the init
      scrips being scheduled as the first ones to start, before networking and other
      essentials:
      ls -l /etc/init.d/rc3.d/|grep ambari
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 23 20:57 K01ambari-agent -> ../ambari-agent
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 23 20:57 K01ambari-server -> ../ambari-server
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 23 20:09 S01ambari-agent -> ../ambari-agent
      lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jan 23 20:57 S01ambari-server -> ../ambari-server

      The ambari-server fails to automatically start after reboot on an Suse11
      system due to the service starting before the network (with the following
      error, also attached in the logs):
      1) Error injecting constructor, java.net.UnknownHostException:
      ip-172-31-23-241: ip-172-31-23-241: unknown error
      This especially happens on system where DNS is being used for resolve
      hostnames (such as on AWS or many users).

      STR:
      Install a SuSE11 SP4, preferably on AWS or remove any references from
      /etc/hosts.
      Install the Ambari repo, the packages and run the setup:
      wget -nv <http://public-
      repo-1.hortonworks.com/ambari/suse11/2.x/updates/2.4.2.0/ambari.repo> -O
      /etc/zypp/repos.d/ambari.repo
      zypper -n install ambari-agent ambari-server
      ambari-server setup
      /etc/init.d/ambari-server start
      reboot
      Notice the ambari-server does not come up after reboot.
      How to fix:
      As per <https://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=7002295>, the solution is
      to set # Required-Start: $ALL in the script headers.
