2.2.5 Setting Timeout Values for in.named Methods

When you register your data service using hareg(1M), you can specify timeout values for methods you have created, such as the start_net, stop_net, and fm_start methods. However, the timeout values you set for your methods must be less than half the timeout value set for logical host takeover during cluster reconfiguration. The default timeout value for logical host takeover is 180 seconds. Therefore, if the timeout values you set for your methods are greater than 90 seconds, you must increase the timeout value for logical host takeover. Otherwise, your methods will time out.

You can increase the logical host takeover timeout values with the scconf(1M) command. Refer to the scconf(1M) man page and to the section on configuring timeouts for cluster transition steps in Chapter 3 of the Sun Cluster 2.2 System Administration Guide for details.
