  http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS5R93_5.2.11/com.ibm
  .spectrum.sc.doc/fqz0_t_setting_timeout_values_for_the_deviceser
  ver.html
  
  For the IBM Scale Out Network Attached Storage (SONAS) or IBM
  Storwize V7000 Unified devices probe may failed in timeout even
  if the timeout values were inceased.
  IBM Spectrum Control requires the device to refresh the data
  from underlying GPFS cluster, which can take a very long time on
  large file systems.
  
  Run the setdscfg command to modify the Probe.GetRecentSONASData
  parameter. Run the following command:
  - run cli>tpctool setdscfg -user user -pwd password -url
  host:port -property Probe.GetRecentSONASData -context
  DeviceServer false
