This object sets the interval, in seconds, between successive ILMI message transmissions used to detect loss of ILMI connectivity on a resource partition, with a value of 0 disabling ILMI connectivity checking entirely on that interface. An administrator tunes this interval to control how quickly a partition notices when its ILMI peer has stopped responding. For example, setting this to 0 would turn off ILMI connectivity monitoring on that partition altogether, which an administrator might do if the attached device does not support ILMI.
