eh_deadline is set to 10 on the 2 qlogic ports, eh_timeout is set

I jam one of the target array ports and discard the commands
effectively black-holing the commands and leave it that way until
we recover and I watch the I/O. The recovery takes around 300s even
with all the tuning and this effectively lands up in Oracle cluster
evictions.
This discussion started as a discussion about the time needed to fail
over from one path to another. How long did it take in your test before
I/O failed over from the jammed port to another port?

Hello Laurence,
Everyone else on all mailing lists to which this message has been posted
replies below the message. Please follow this convention.
Regarding the fail-over time: the ib_srp driver guarantees that
scsi_done() is invoked from inside its terminate_rport_io() function.
Apparently the lpfc and the qla2xxx drivers behave differently. Please
work with the maintainers of these drivers to reduce fail-over time.
Bart.
