  • The maximum pause-resume of I/O is currently set to a low value of 4 seconds.

  • Time period of Pause-Resume of Queues could be uniform or random

  • Interval Time period between Pause-Resume of Queues could be uniform or random

  • Queue Depth chosen for IO scenarios could max out at value specified in certification requirements.
