MegaRAID Storage Manager Remotely Connecting to VMware ESX

When the MegaRAID Storage Manager software is used to connect to a VMware ESX machine from a remote machine (Windows or Linux), perform the following steps for long running operations (such as volume creation, deletion) to complete in a shorter time:

1.	Login to the VMware ESX machine.

2.	Open the /etc/sfcb/sfcb.cfg file.

3.	Increase the keepaliveTimeout value from 1 to 100 or to a higher value.

4.	Restart sfcbd (/etc/init.d/sfcbd-watchdog restart).

5.	Restart the MegaRAID Storage Manager Framework on the MegaRAID Storage Manager client machine.

For Windows, restart the framework service.

For Linux, restart the vivaldi framework service.

6.	Re-launch the MegaRAID Storage Manager window.
