Disconnect Timeout Settings Disconnect Timeout Settings NOTE Table E-1 Disconnect Timeout Settings The following commands will cause a SCSI disconnect. It is useful to know what the maximum times for disconnect are so driver timeouts can be set appropriately. In Table E-1 the maximum disconnect time is represented by the nominal number of seconds plus the number of levels of error recovery times 60. You can see the maximum time can be very long. An appropriate timeout may be a compromise between the nominal time and maximum time.
