Disk Resource Pending Timeout for Large Configurations
In order to ensure continuous operation of Disk Resources across SAN
perturbations with Disk Resource counts greater than eight, it is recommended
that the Pending Timeout parameter for each Disk Resource be increased from
180 seconds to 360 seconds.
To view and set the Pending Timeout parameter:
1. Open the Microsoft Cluster Administrator.
2. Select a Disk Group resource in the left pane.
3. Right click each Disk Resource in right pane, one at a time, and select
Properties.
4. Select the Advanced tab from the Properties menu.
5. Locate the Pending Timeout value and change it to 360.
6. Click OK.
SWCC SCSI Connection
The SWCC Client SCSI connection can sometimes produce the following error
message when trying to connect through the CCL:
Error scanning subsystem. Command Execution Error:
[DeviceIOControl Error:]
Additionally, physical devices may not appear in the Select Device drop-down
list. The SWCC CLI Window terminates if the New Window icon is selected, or
if New is selected from the File Menu, followed by clicking the Cancel button on
the Connection Selection dialog box. If the connection becomes lost, restart the
Client application.
HP strongly recommends that you use the SWCC Agent to manage the storage
system.
