Is it possible to modify sanlock timeout in RHV deployments?

Resolution

With the changes made in RHV and other layered product code based on this This content is not included.BZ # 1845909, it is possible now to modify sanlock timeout on RHV hosts. However, this procedure needs to be done with extra care and proper understanding of the time outs set and the expected outcome.

If you have a storage that requires a different sanlock io time out then the defaults available in RHV, please open a support ticket with Red Hat and reference this KCS.

Disclaimer: Red Hat is not responsible testing or recommending timeout configurations that are different from default. Customer deciding to change the defaults should work with their specific storage vendor and do proper testing before deploying it in production.
