Configuring physical volume timeout

The physical volume timeout value for multipathing support has restrictions.

Physical volumes (PV) can be multipathed with the IBM System Storage® Multipath Subsystem Device Driver (SDD) or HP PVLinks. You must set the PV timeout as follows:
  • Physical volumes that are multipathed with SDD must have a PV timeout of 90 seconds.
  • Physical volumes that are multipathed with PVLinks must have a PV timeout of 60 seconds. (The timeout default set by PVLinks is 4 minutes.)
