Specifying the Host Polling Interval
The host polling interval is the length of time between polls to a connected host’s
agent to retrieve information. Host polling detects host status alarms that were not
received by SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager GUI. Perform the following steps to set
a host’s polling interval:
1. In the SANsurfer iSCSI HBA Manager main window HBA tree, select the host
(or HBA, device, or LUN connected to the host) for which you want to set the
host polling interval.
2. Do one of the following:
❑ From the Host menu, select Host Polling.
❑ Right-click the selected host (or HBA, HBA port, device, or LUN connected
to the host) in the HBA tree. From the pop-up menu, select Host Polling.
3. The Host Polling Setting dialog box displays (see figure 6-10). The name of
the host displays in the title bar.

1800000 seconds (500 hours). To disable host polling, type 0. The default is
120 seconds.
5. Click OK to set the interval. Click Cancel to not change the interval setting.
