Verifying virtual disk access from the host
With Windows, you must rescan for new virtual disks to be accessible. After you rescan, you must
select the disk type, and then initialize (assign disk signature), partition, format, and assign drive
letters or mount points according to standard Windows conventions.
Setting the Pending Timeout value for large cluster configurations
For clusters, if disk resource counts are greater than 8, HP recommends that you increase the
Pending Timeout value for each disk resource from 180 second to 360 seconds. Changing the
Pending Timeout value ensures continuous operation of disk resources across the SAN.
To set the Pending Timeout value:
1.
Open Microsoft Cluster Administrator.
2.
Select a Disk Group resource in the left pane.
3.
Right-click a Disk Resource in the right pane and select Properties.
4.
Click the Advanced tab.
5.
Change the Pending Timeout value to 360.
6.
Click OK.
7.
Repeat steps 3-6 for each disk resource.
