Most Fiber Channel (FC) drivers have a configurable parameter called "failover" in the FC driver's configuration file. This parameter is the number of seconds that the driver waits before transitioning a disk target from offline to failed. After the state becomes failed, the driver flushes all pending fiber channel commands back to the application with an error code. Symantec recommends that you use a non-zero value that is smaller than any of the MonitorTimeout values of the Disk Group resources, which avoids excessive waits for monitor timeouts. Refer to the Fiber Channel adapter's configuration guide for further information.
