<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">When I try to attach new direct lun disks, the scan takes a very long time to complete because of the number of pvs presented to my hosts (there is already a bug on
this, related to the pvcreate command taking a very long time - <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1217401">

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Century Gothic","sans-serif"">I discovered a workaround by setting the vdsTimeout value higher (it is 180 seconds by default). I changed it to 300 seconds and now the direct lun scan returns properly,
but I’m hoping someone can warn me if this workaround is safe or if it’ll cause other potential issues? I made this change yesterday and so far so good.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
