HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Disk\TimeOutValue The disk TimeOutValue setting is the timeout value set by Windows for storage system I/O operations. The Dell | EMC Fibre Channel storage environment requires 60 seconds for I/O operations. When you run the Cluster Configuration wizard, the wizard sets the TimeOutValue setting to 20 seconds, which may not be sufficient for complex I/O operations. Consequently, storage system I/O operations may continually time out. Microsoft has confir

e In the Available Adapters box, select the second HBA in the list. f Repeat step c and step d. g Reboot the cluster node. h Repeat step a through step g on each additional node. The cluster disks are not initialized in Disk Management. On clusters running Windows Server 2003, Disk Management may display the cluster disks as not initialized. This issue may occur if the cluster disks are owned by other nodes in the same cluster. This behavior is normal and does not affect cluster operations.
