Description

The Set-MPIOSetting cmdlet changes Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) settings. The settings are as follows:

  • PathVerificationState
  • PathVerificationPeriod
  • PDORemovePeriod
  • RetryCount
  • RetryInterval
  • UseCustomPathRecoveryTime
  • CustomPathRecoveryTime
  • DiskTimeoutValue

You may be prompted to restart the computer for your changes to take effect.

Examples

Example 1: Change the disk time-out

PS C:\> Set-MPIOSetting -NewDiskTimeout 30

This command sets the disk time-out value to 30 seconds. The system prompts you to restart after you change settings.

You can use the Get-MPIOSetting cmdlet to verify the change.
