Chapter 12 Command Line Interface Reference

scsirouter cdbretrycount

To specify the number of times a failed command should be retried before returning an error on the CDB,

use the scsirouter cdbretrycount command.

scsirouter name cdbretrycount nn

Syntax Description

Defaults The number of CDB retries is 6, by default.

Command Modes Administrator.

Command History

Usage Guidelines Use this command to change the number of times a failed CDB will be retried by the storage router

before returning an error on the CDB. Retries occur every second. For example, with the default retry

count value of 6, it would take 6 seconds before a failed command would be returned with an error.

If an intelligent storage array includes multiple paths between hosts and storage, lowering the CDB retry

count value could change the triggering of failover situations.

Note In a high availability cluster, the storage router may fail over a SCSI routing instance when some or all

devices accessed through that instance cannot be reached, before the maximum number of CDB retries

occurs.

Examples The following example sets the CDB retry count value to 10:

[SN5428-2A]# scsirouter transparent cdbretrycount 10

Related Commands
