Recently I had this situation. Freshly installed SLES 12.2 had a problem after reboot. For some strange reason, server entered emergency mode.
It looked like this.
It looked like this.
Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in,type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D
to try again to boot into default mode.
Give root password for maintainence
(or type control-D to continue):
 
 
After typing root password and executing systemctl default 
everything
 look OK. Network start to work, all services was up already. Reboot 
also did the same thing, everything was perfect. But next time you need 
to reboot, server was againg in emergency mode. So this had to be 
solved.We update server, upgrade it to SLES 12.3, but problem was still there. One
 thing I did notice when server was booting OK is this. Booting process 
was finished and log in prompt was shown but ping was dead to server IP.
 After a 5 seconds, EMC Networker agent started. This is showed by 
printing nsrexecafter login prompt.After this process was started, ping start to run normally and server had network connectivity.Networker agent version was 8.2.2.Could this be the problem? I
 deactive proccess to start after reboot. Reboot server. Server started 
normally! Maybe this is a problem after all? We rebooted server 10 more 
times. It started normally every time!
So
 old version of Networker agent for some reason was entering in 
emergency mode. This is pretty strange because, we are running several 
SLES 12.2 on same hardware and we did not have this issues!
We installed latest EMC Networker agent 8.2.4, rebooted server for several times, everything looks OK. Server boot normally!
