Fibre Channel Addressing and Routing Fabric Configuration Process
Configuring Time-Out Values
• Different vendors use different timer values:
– F_S_TOV (Fabric Stability Time Out Value) – D_S_TOV (Distributed Services Time Out Value) – E_D_TOV (Error Detect Time Out Value) – R_A_TOV (Resource Allocation Time Out Value)
• Need to set timers the same on all switches • Changing timers can be a disruptive event • Not all timers are configurable on all switches
