Setting the I/O timeout parameter

Set the I/O timeout value for each disk device to 30 seconds.

To change the I/O timeout parameter:

1. Verify the current I/O timeout value using the pvdisplay command:

Example # pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c0t6d0

This causes current values to be displayed:

--- Physical volumes ---
PV Name	/dev/dsk/c0t6d0
VG Name	/dev/vg06
PV Status	available
Allocatable	yes
VGDA	2
Cur LV	1
PE Size (Mbytes)	4
Total PE	586
Free PE	0	[OPEN-9]
Allocated PE	586	[OPEN-9]
Stale PE	0	[I/O timeout value]
IO Timeout (Seconds)	default	[I/O timeout value]

2.If the I/O timeout value is not 30, change the value to 30 using the pvchange -tcommand:

Example # pvchange -t 30 /dev/dsk/c0t6d0

This result is displayed:

Physical volume "/dev/dsk/c0t6d0" has been successfully changed.

Volume Group configuration for /dev/vg06 has been saved in /etc/lvmconf/vg06.cof

3.Verify that the new I/O timeout value is 30 seconds using the pvdisplay command:

Example # pvdisplay /dev/dsk/c0t6d0

Current values are now displayed, confirming that the new I/O timeout value is 30 seconds:
