iSCSI Initiator Idle Timeout

iSCSI initiator idle timeout specifies the time for which the virtual Fibre Channel N port is kept idle after the initiator logs out from its last iSCSI session. The default value for this timer is 300 seconds, which is useful to avoid N ports logging in to and logging off of the Fiber Channel SAN as transient failure occurs in the IP network.

To configure the initiator idle timeout using Fabric Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Choose End Devices > iSCSI in the Physical Attributes pane.
  2. Click the Globals tab.
  3. Right-click on the InitiatorIdle Timeout field that you want to modify and enter the new timeout value.
  4. Click the Apply Changes icon to save these changes.
