Change the PLOGI Retry Timer
This option allows you to set the interval for the PLOGI retry timer. This option is
especially useful for Tachyon-based RAID arrays. Under very rare occasions, a
Tachyon-based RAID array resets itself and the port goes offline temporarily in the
loop. When the port comes to life, the PLOGI retry interval scans the loop to discover
this device.
You can choose:

Disable – Default

50 Msec

100 Msec

200 Msec
To change timer values:

information you want to change and press <Enter>.
2. From the Configure HBA Parameters menu, navigate to PLOGI Retry Timer and
