<h2>9.14. CAVEATS<a class="headerlink" href="#caveats" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>When operating in parallel, either by operating in parallel for each host
(-p/--parallel) or by parallel jobs within a host (-j/--jobs), and depending
on target SSH server and its configuration you may encounter connection drops.
This is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxStartups</strong> configuration options.
You may also encounter session open refusal. This happens with ssh multiplexing
when you reach maximum number of open sessions permitted per network
connection. In this case ssh will disable multiplexing.
This limit is controlled with sshd <strong>MaxSessions</strong> configuration
options. For more details refer to <strong>sshd_config</strong>(5).</p>
<p>When requirements for the same object are defined in different manifests (see
example below) in init manifest and in some other type manifest and they differs
then dependency resolver cannot detect dependencies right. This happens because
cdist cannot prepare all objects first and then run objects because some
object can depend on the result of type explorer(s) and explorers are executed
during object run. cdist will detect such case and write warning message.
Example for such a case:</p>
<div class="highlight-sh"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span>init manifest:
__a a
<span class="nv">require</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"__e/e"</span> __b b

__e e
__f f

__g g
__h h
<span class="nb">type</span> __g manifest:
<span class="nv">require</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s2">"__c/c __d/d"</span> __a a
