Change Device Discovery Delay

This parameter sets a delay to occur after an loop initialization and before a scan is

initiated to discover the target. The default is off or 0 seconds.
Change the default if you have an HP MSA1000 or HP MSA1500 RAID array and if

both of the following conditions exist:

The MSA array is direct connected or part of an arbitrated loop (for example,

daisy chained with a JBOD).

The boot LUN is not reliably discovered. In this case, a delay may be necessary

to allow the array to complete a reset.

Caution:

Do not change the delay device discovery time if your MSA array is

connected to a fabric switch. Setting it to any other time guarantees that the

maximum delay time is seen on every loop initialization.
