for the relationship between automatic
failbacks and intermittent error monitoring.
When you specify on, specify the checking interval by specifying the
parameter immediately following on. If you do not specify a checking
interval, path statuses will be checked in the following way:
¢
When the checking interval has not been specified before:
Every minute (default setting)
¢
When the checking interval has been specified before:
The previously used interval
The explanation for the following sub-parameter describes how to specify
the interval between path status checks.
-intvl checking-interval
Specify the interval between path status checks. Specify a value from
1 to 1440 minutes. The default is 1. Specify an interval appropriate
for your operating environment.
If intermittent error monitoring is on and the number of times that the
error is to occur is set to a value of 2 or more, the following condition
must be satisfied:
error-monitoring-interval >= checking-interval-for-automatic-
failback x number-of-times-error-is-to-occur-during-
intermittent-error-monitoring
If this condition is not satisfied, the KAPL01080-W message will be
output and an error will occur. If this happens, change any of the
following settings: the checking interval for automatic failbacks, the
intermittent error-monitoring interval, or the number of times that the
error is to occur.
When you set the number of times that the error is to occur to 1, the
above condition does not need to be satisfied.
When you changed the error monitor interval during monitoring an
intermittent error, the new setting takes effect immediately. When the
checking interval is shortened and the checking interval after the
change (from the end of the previous path status check) has already
elapsed, the path status check will start immediately.
This setting remains stored in the system, even if you disable the
function by changing the setting of automatic failbacks to off.
Therefore, if you re-enable automatic failbacks and do not change the
interval, path status checks will be executed at the interval already
stored in the system.
-iem { on [-intvl error-monitoring-interval] [-iemnum number-of-
times-error-is-to-occur] | off }
Enables or disables intermittent error monitoring.
on: Enabled
off: Disabled
Intermittent error monitoring can be set automatic failback is set to on.
