IO_TIME OUT of Hard Disk
I want to know what is the exact use of changing the IO_TIME of the harddisk that we changes by the pvchange command. How it affect the system when we change the IO_TIME of the LUNS?

Re: IO_TIME OUT of Hard Disk
But what will be the maximum and minimum value of IO_TIMEOUT of Hard Disk ?
And by increasing the value does it improves the performance ?

Re: IO_TIME OUT of Hard Disk
-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).

Re: IO_TIME OUT of Hard Disk
(PV_)IO_TIMEOUT is the time the OS allows a disk access to complete, if it doesn't complete within that time, the PV's status in it's volume group will change to unavailable, the IO will fail back to the issueing application and You'll get ugly error messages in dmesg.
Depending on the type of IO You might also lose a bit of data :)
Raising the timeout only makes sense *IF* there is a good chance this will help a potential IO to complete; in reality, if the IO doesn't complete within 2 seconds You already have a BIG issue and changing the default (30s) to a higher value like 90s or 180s (EMC^2 choses to recommend either of those at times) might not always help.
In the EMC^2 context this will be advised if You use Clariion / CX active/passive arrays as there are conditions that might delay an IO for that long. This still is a big issue, but one You payed for :)
