>dlnkmgr set -pchk on -intvl 10

When path health checking is enabled by specifying

on

for the

-pchk

parameter,

you can also specify the

-intvl

parameter, in order to specify the checking

interval. If the checking interval is not specified, then the previously specified

value will be automatically applied. For example, if you turn off path health

checking after the checking interval was specified as

15

minutes, and then you

enable path health checking again (but without specifying a checking interval) the

15

value that was specified from before will be used again.

(3) Setting Up the Automatic Failback Function

When intermittent error monitoring is enabled and the number of error occurrences is

2

or more, the following condition must be satisfied.

error-monitoring-interval >= checking-interval-for-automatic-failbacks

x

number-of-times-an-error-is-to-occur-during-intermittent-error-monitoring

If this condition is not satisfied, an error will occur and the warning message

KAPL01080-W will be output.
If this happens, change any of the following settings: the checking interval for

automatic failbacks, the intermittent error-monitoring interval, or the number of times

that the error needs to occur.
If you set the number of times that the error needs to occur to

1

, the above condition

does not need to be satisfied.

Setting up automatic failback by using the

set

operation

The following is an example of setting up automatic failback by using a

command:


>dlnkmgr set -afb on -intvl 10

To enable the automatic failback function, set it to

on

. The checking interval can

be specified by the

-intvl

parameter. The previously specified value will be

applied when a checking interval is not specified. For example, if you turn off the

automatic failback function after the checking interval was specified as

5

minutes,

and then you turn it back on (but without specifying a checking interval) the

5

minutes that were specified from before will be used again.

(4) Setting Up Intermittent Error Monitoring

Intermittent error monitoring is specifiable only when the automatic failback function
