1.10.7 Configuring for availability and recoverability
This section describes how to ensure optimum availability and recoverability
when you attach an IBM ESS to a Windows NT host system. You must set the
time-out value associated with the supported host bus adapters to 240 seconds.
The setting is consistent with the configuration for IBM SSA adapters and disk
subsystems when attached to a Windows NT host system.
Note: If you are installing the Fibre Channel adapter for the first time, you must
specify the correct topology. You must also select the appropriate device
mapping driver.
