SHADOW_PSM_RDLY

   When a copy or merge operation is needed on a shadow set that is
   mounted on more than one system, the shadowing driver attempts
   to perform the operation on a system that has a local connection
   to all the shadow set members. Shadowing implements the copy or
   merge operation by adding a time delay based on the number of
   shadow set members that are MSCP-served to the system. No delay
   is added for local members; a system with all locally accessible
   shadow set members usually performs the copy or merge before a
   system on which one or more members is served (and therefore is
   delayed) does.

   SHADOW_PSM_RDLY allows the system manager to adjust the delay
   that shadowing adds. By default, the delay is 30 seconds for each
   MSCP-served shadow set member. The valid range for the specified
   delay is 0 through 65,535 seconds.

   When a shadow set is mounted on a system, the value of SHADOW_
   PSM_RDLY is used as the default shadow set member recovery delay
   for that shadow set. To modify SHADOW_PSM_RDLY for an existing
   shadow set, see the SET SHADOW/ /RECOVERY_OPTIONS=DELAY_PER_
   SERVED_MEMBER=n command in VSI Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS.
