Chapter 14: Configure Device Monitors 253

Delay: Type the number of seconds that the device monitor should wait

before failing over virtual hosts following a global event. The default is 65

seconds.

To determine the number of seconds for the delay, check the probe

frequency and probe timeout values of the shared resource monitors in

your configuration. Using the monitor with the largest values, add

together the number of seconds specified for the probe frequency and

probe timeout. The delay should be at least as large as that value.

To enable a Global Event Delay from the command line, use this

command:

mx device globalsettings [--eventdelay <seconds>]

If you do not specify the --eventdelay option, the command will return

the current value of the Global Event Delay.
