[gpfsug-discuss] GUI timeout when running HW_INVENTORY on little endian ESS server

[Billich Heinrich Rainer (ID SD)]

Hello,

I did ask about this timeouts when the gui runs HW_INVENTORY before. Now I would like to know what the exact timeout value in the gui code is and if we can change it. I want to argue: If a xCat command takes X seconds but the  GUI code timeouts after Y we  know the command will fail if X > Y, hence we need to increase Y unless we can reduce X ...

It's this function which raises the timeout: 
at com.ibm.fscc.ras.xcat.InventoryAndStateHelper.runRemoteInventory

If we can't fix the long execution time for the time being, can we raise the timeout value? I know this most likely is a Firmware issue with little endian power systems, but we won't update some more time.

Thank you,

Heiner
