For example, to set the Login Timeout value to 30 seconds, use commands similar to the following:

  1. Log in to the vSphere Web Client and select the host under Hosts and Clusters.
  2. Navigate to the Manage tab.
  3. Select the Storage option.
  4. Under Storage Adapters, select the iSCSI vmhba to be modified.
  5. Select Advanced and change the Login Timeout parameter. This can be done on the iSCSI adapter itself or on a specific target.

    The default Login Timeout value is 5 seconds and the maximum value is 60 seconds.

    Note:

    BEST PRACTICE: Set iSCSI Login Timeout for FlashArray targets to 30 seconds. A higher value is supported but not necessary.
