This command must be run from one host, on all logical volumes in the package volume groups. A starting timeout value of 60 seconds is suggested; the timeout must not be set to less than 60 seconds. Once the lvchange -t command is run on a host, all other hosts will automatically inherit the new timeout value for the logical volumes. View the current timeout value by running thelvdisplaycommand and checking the value listed for “IO Timeout (Seconds)”.
