Configuring for fast fail and dynamic tracking

For hosts systems that run an AIX® 5.2 or later operating system, the fast fail and dynamic tracking attributes must be enabled.

Before configuring your host system to use these attributes, ensure that the host is running the AIX operating system version 5.2 or later.
Perform the following steps to configure your host system to use the fast fail and dynamic tracking attributes:
  1. Issue the following command to set the Fibre Channel SCSI I/O Controller Protocol Device event error recovery policy to fast_fail for each fibre-channel adapter:
    chdev -l fscsi0 -a fc_err_recov=fast_fail
    The previous example command was for adapter fscsi0.
  2. Issue the following command to enable dynamic tracking for each fibre-channel device:
    chdev -l fscsi0 -a dyntrk=yes 
    The previous example command was for adapter fscsi0.
