The controller sends these messages to thehost via the secondary communications path to let the hostknow that the secondary communications path will operatecorrectly if a failure occurs on the primary communicationspath.Specify the time that the controller waits between attemptsto retest the secondary communications path. The controllerretests the secondary communications path when the firsttest fails.Enter the event that the controller activates when the test ofthe secondary communications path fails. You can doubleclickon the field to display a list of events.Specify an event that is located on the controller responsiblefor the secondary communications path. If the event islocated on another controller, the system displays an errormessage.Specify the maximum number of unacknowledgedmessages that are allowed for each controller in the cluster.If you have a network with high latency, you may want to setthis value to a higher number; if the network has lowlatency, the default value (10) should be sufficient.C•CURE 800/8000 Hardware Configuration Guide 1–57
