FICON VSANs.

Usage Guidelines
Before changing the timeout value, you must enable RSCN configuration distribution using the rscn
distribute command.
The RSCN timer is registered with Cisco Fabric Services (CFS) during initialization and switchover. For
high availability, if the RSCN timer distribution crashes and restarts or a switchover occurs, it resumes
normal functionality from the state prior to the crash or switchover.
You can determine configuration compatibility when downgrading to an earlier Cisco MDS SAN-OS
Note
release using the show incompatibility system command. You must disable RSCN timer distribution
support before downgrading to an earlier release.
Examples
The following example configures an RSCN event timeout value on VSAN 1.
switch# config terminal
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
switch(config)# rscn event-tov 20 vsan 1
Successful. Commit should follow for command to take effect.
