sys_xirtimeout

Note: This variable works only when the sys_autorestart variable is set to xir.

This variable allows you to set a timeout value for the XIR (externally initiated reset) you specified using the sys_autorestart variable. If the XIR does not complete within the specified number of seconds, ALOM aborts the XIR and forces the server to perform a hard reset instead. If you specify a timeout of zero seconds, the XIR never times out after a watchdog XIR event. If you specify a value that has more than five digits in it, the timeout will be set to 0.

If you want to specify a value other than zero seconds, choose a timeout value of 900 to10,800 seconds (15 minutes to 3 hours). If you specify a value between 1 and 899, the value defaults to 900. If you specify a value over 10,800, that value defaults to 10,800.

You can specify a value for this variable while running the setupsc command. When you set this variable using setupsc, the following prompt is displayed:

How many seconds should be allowed for an XIR to complete (maximum timeout of 10800s) [900]?

From the ALOM command shell:

• To specify a value (or values) for this variable, use the setupsc command.
• To view the current value, use the showsc command.
• To change the value(s), use the setsc command.

Using the scadm utility:

• To view the current value for this variable, use the show command.
• To change the value, use the set command.
