Anyone with Windows guests knows that these changes can be made remotely.<\/p>\n

This command will remotely change the setting:<\/p>\n

reg.exe add \\TARGETSERVERHKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesDisk \/v TimeoutValue \/t REG_DWORD \/d 190 \/f<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

190 is the Decimal value of 000000be, which is specified in the NetApp reg file.<\/em><\/p>\n

Also, a batch file can be accomplished to make this pretty easy.\u00a0 Put the following in a batch file called NetAppIO.bat (or what ever you want to call it).<\/p>\n

reg.exe add \\%1HKLMSYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesDisk \/v TimeoutValue \/t REG_DWORD \/d 190 \/f<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then call it from a cmd prompt like this:<\/p>\n

NetAppIO.bat TARGETSERVER<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And you can easily make the change remotely without having to retype the command many times, as well as incorporate it into more scripting.<\/p>\n

To update many systems, another batch file could call this batch file.\u00a0 Something like this:<\/p>\n

call NetAppIO.bat TARGETSERVER1
\ncall NetAppIO.bat TARGETSERVER2
\ncall NetAppIO.bat TARGETSERVER3
\ncall NetAppIO.bat TARGETSERVER4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just save that as NetAppAll.bat, and execute it, and all 4 target servers will be updated.<\/p>\n

Just make sure you have a change request in place.<\/p>\n
