Hi,

Do you mean IO timeout for PV. if so use,

#pvchange -t 90
Ex: #pvchange -t 90 /dev/dsk/c0t2d0

#man pvchange

-t IO_timeout Set IO_timeout for the physical volume to the number of seconds indicated. An IO_timeout value of zero (0) causes the system to use the default value supplied by the device driver associated with the physical device.IO_timeout is used by the device driver to determine how long to wait for disk transactions to complete before concluding that an IO request can not be completed (and the device is offline or unavailable).

Set the IO_timeout value for a physical volume to 90 seconds:

pvchange -t 90 /dev/dsk/c2t0d2
