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

[Billich Heinrich Rainer (ID SD)]

Hello,

Sorry, I was wrong. Looks like the timeout already happens in xCAT/rinv and the gui just reports it. What to some respect is good - now this is a purely xCAT/hardware issue. The GUI isn't involved any more.

Kind regards

Heiner

    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,
