The Cisco MDS 9000, Brocade, and McData FC error detect (ED_TOV) and resource allocation
(RA_TOV) timers default to the same values. They can be changed if needed. The RA_TOV
default is 10 seconds, and the ED_TOV default is 2 seconds. Per the FC-SW2 standard, these
values must be the same on each switch within the fabric.
Expand Switches > FC Services and then select Timers and Policies. You see the timer settings in
the Information pane.
Click Change Timeouts to modify the time-out values.
Click Apply to save the new time-out values.
