Doc Text:
C: In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.6 the vdsm package set the dev_loss_tmo and polling_interval in /etc/multipath.conf to 60 seconds and 10 seconds respectively. C: The timeout values were too large and caused slow path failover. F: As of vdsm22-4.5-63.13.el5_6 the dev_loss_tmo and polling_interval are set to 30 seconds and 5 seconds respectively. R: Storage path failover is faster. Text: The vdsm package was setting the dev_loss_tmo and polling_interval values in /etc/multipath.conf to 60 seconds and 10 seconds respectively. These timeout values were too large and caused slow path failover. The dev_loss_tmo and polling_interval values are now set to 30 seconds and 5 seconds respectively. As a result, storage path failover is faster.
