I see that setting path_latencty_monitor and path_latency_threshold log events for the path latency surpassing threshold. How does this effect failover while in BasicFailover policy? Does failover happen on the first or Nth threshold failure or is this simply for monitoring purposes?

I am trying to tune Redhat cluster suite per Redhat recomentations found at:
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_46_13315.shtm

These examples apply to multipathd instead of powerpath and I am trying to translate this to my enviroment. multipathd lets you define a polling interval and number of allowd retries. So the failover time is polling interval * retries. I'm having difficulty finding documentation about what parameters control PowerPath failover time.

My Environment:
Redhat Enterprise Linux: 5.2, x86 / Redhat Cluster Suite 5
PowerPath for Linux 5.1.2
Storage: Clariion CX3-80

Thanks for any input!
