Modifying the data-transfer time threshold

You can modify the threshold for data transfer to complete. If the threshold value is reached, the transfer is flagged as failing by the system.

Before you begin

• This operation can be performed from the primary or secondary storage system.

• The setting is made in the RIO MIH field on the DKC Options dialog box (RIO MIH--remote I/O missing interrupt handler).

Procedure

1. Open the Remote Connections window:

In Command Suite:

1. On the Resources tab, expand the Storage Systems tree.

2. Right-click the target storage system, and click Remote Connections.

In Device Manager - Storage Navigator:

2. Expand the target storage system tree, expand Replication, and click Remote Connections.

2. In the Connections (To) tab, select the Remote Storage System with the data-transfer waiting-time to be changed.

3. Click Edit Remote Connection Options.

4. In the Edit Remote Connection Options window, note that Minimum Paths cannot be changed.

5. For RIO MIH Time, specify the amount of time the system waits before a data transfer operation is flagged as failed. The range is 10 to 100 seconds, and the default is 15 seconds.

6. Click Finish.

7. In the Confirm window, review the settings and enter a task name in the Task Name box.
