8.8 Configuring the EVMS Remote Request
Timeout
Novell Cluster Services for Linux uses the EVMS Cluster Segment Manager for shared devices.
When load and unload scripts run, EVMS mounts or dismounts shared devices. The default timeout
for remote requests for EVMS is 12 seconds. If you have many shared devices to be mounted or
dismounted and the timeout is exceeded, you might see EVMS locking errors and some cluster
resources can go comatose.
You must increase the EVMS engine's
devices and it is taking longer than 12 seconds to process them as the load or unload scripts are run
for a cluster migration. The time needed varies with the number of shared devices that are being
processed. For example, for about 60 shared devices, set the timeout to 30 seconds.
