Changing the nginx Read Timeout
On VMware, when you request process-intensive operations such as creating 64 Virtual Drives, Drive Initialization, Consistency Check, Drive Erase, and so on, the VMware ESXi Server may time out, resulting in a delay of the operation that is being performed.
To avoid the VMware ESXi Server timing out, perform the following steps to change the nginx FCGI Read Timeout.
- Open the nginx.conf file in the LSIStorageAuthority/server/conf directory.
-
In the nginx.conf file, search for the
fastcgi_read_timeout
field. -
Modify or increment the value present in the
fastcgi_read_timeout
to anywhere between900
to2000
depending on your requirement. - Save the nginx.conf file.
- Restart the nginx service as well as the LSI Storage Authority Service.
