12.1.2 Communication timeout value

It is possible to tune the following items:

CON_TIMEOUT set up time in seconds after a communicative response is lost until it estimates a partner node to be an abnormal state in the monitoring of the node by communication.

This value can be set for every file system.

It is possible to specify a value with sfcadm(8).

The default of a communication timeout value is 180 seconds.

It is not usually necessary to change communication timeout value.

When it is expected that the loading of system becomes high, please set the value of CON_TIMEOUT greatly. Please set up the value of CON_TIMEOUT small, when there are few file systems to be used and improve the response of the error return from a system call to the time of the blockade accompanying the abnormalities in communication etc. When the number of file system use are 10 or less and set a value of CON_TIMEOUT small, its value should be 60 seconds or more.

(Example)

# sfcadm -o CON_TIMEOUT=180 /dev/sfdsk/gfs/dsk/volume1
