During installation of N1 Grid PS, the Provisioning Server connects to the
switch, sets the vlan information and then writes to the startup config. It
then issues a Configuring SNP Ports and hangs, then starts all over.
Eventually, the installation fails.
The following is the error message written to the
/var/opt/terraspring/install/run/install.log file:

The resolution to this issue is to change the system controller (SC) prompt from
"ssc0/sc" to "ssc0/sc>" (notice the greater than sign). The ">" sign is a requirement
for the N1 Grid PS software to correctly identify the prompt on the SC.
Also, it is critical that the CLI prompt generation be set to manual.
To configure the prompt execute "setupsc" on the SC
The following example only demonstrates updating the SC parameters. This
example assumes that the interfaces were already previously configured.
