Fibre Channel Timeout Values
You can modify Fibre Channel protocol-related timer values for the switch by configuring the following
timeout values (TOVs):
•
Distributed services TOV (D_S_TOV)—The valid range is from 5,000 to 10,000 milliseconds. The
default is 5,000 milliseconds.
•
Error detect TOV (E_D_TOV)—The valid range is from 1,000 to 10,000 milliseconds. The default
is 2,000 milliseconds. This value is matched with the other end during port initialization.
•
Resource allocation TOV (R_A_TOV)—The valid range is from 5,000 to 10,000 milliseconds. The
default is 10,000 milliseconds. This value is matched with the other end during port initialization.
Note
The fabric stability TOV (F_S_TOV) constant cannot be configured.
