Configuring physical volume timeout

The physical volume timeout value for multipathing support has restrictions.

Physical volumes (PV) can be multipathed with the IBMMultipath 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.)
