settings you need implemented

My company have encountered similar problems, and we have seen that some settings need to be set.

Here are the settings which have to be implemented.

Each child fibre device (fscsiX) has to have the following two modes set:
Code:
chdev -l fscsiX -a dyntrk=yes -a fc_err_recov=fast_fail

Additionally, every hdisk device needs to be changed (which I didn't see mentioned in the post).
Code:
chdev -l hdiskX -a reserve_policy=no_reserve

Lastly, you may want to check that the hcheck_interval is NOT set to 0, as then it won't check at all. Usual recommendation is to set to 30 (but 10 should be sufficient).
Code:
chdev -l hdiskX -a hcheck_interval=10
