5.1.2.3 Specifying the Timeout Value

Confirm that the timeout value for each shutdown agent is as shown below. You can confirm the timeout value in the left-hand panel of the shutdown configuration wizard screen.

<How to calculate a timeout value>

• For RCCU or XSCF
  • 4 or fewer nodes

    Timeout value = 20 (seconds)

  • 5 or more nodes

    Timeout value = 6 x number of cluster nodes + 2 (seconds)

    Example) For 5 nodes: 6 x 5 + 2 = 32 (seconds)

• For RCI

  Timeout value = 20 (seconds)

If the value has not been set as explained above, set a timeout value as follows.
