This read-write integer (0-3600 seconds) holds the DefaultTime2Retain preference, the maximum time after the initial Time2Wait period during which an active task reassignment is still possible following an unexpected connection termination or reset. It works together with cpqiScsiNodeDefaultTime2Wait to bound the total recovery window an admin allows before iSCSI gives up on resuming in-flight SCSI tasks and forces a full re-login. For instance, an admin troubleshooting intermittent iSCSI target drops might raise this value to give a backup link more time to come up before pending read/write commands are abandoned.
