The number of milliseconds that the system waits before it tries to log
in again.
Enter an integer between 1000 and 255000. The default is 20,000. We

This parameter is important for host multi-pathing drivers and it is one
of the key indicators used for error processing.
Enter an integer between 0 and 240000. The default is 30,000. For a
server with a VIC adapter running ESX, the recommended value is
10,000.
We recommend you consult your storage array documentation for the
optimal value for this parameter.

The number of times an IO request to a port is returned because the port
is busy before the system decides the port is unavailable.
Enter an integer between 0 and 255. The default is 8. We recommend

This parameter only applies to a server with a VIC adapter
running Windows.
