       Request interval: Interval for issuing monitoring requests  
(in seconds)

(in seconds). 
This information is necessary for issuance of 
monitoring I/O.

                  (in seconds).

       spscmd –lbmode path_number mode 
    For a logical unit with the path specified by "path_number," "mode" will 
set dynamic load balancing. 
Mode = 0: Dynamic load balancing will not be executed (no load balancing 
will be executed or static load balancing will be executed) 
Mode = 1: Dynamic load balancing will be executed (in the round robin 
method). 
       spscmd –notavail path_number 
   It disables the priority of the path specified by "path_number." 
       spscmd –path path_number 
   It disables the priority of the path specified by "path_number." 
       spscmd –priority path_number priority 
  It changes priority of the path specified by "path_number" to 
an integer specified as "priority." 
       spscmd –setfbmode state 
      It sets failback method to the method specified by "state." 
     state = Active or A: Active failback 
     state = Standby or S: Standby failback 
       spscmd –setmscsmode state 
      It sets MSCS liaison to the state specified by "state."
