Author's Note: This article has not been updated since initial writing. At least one significant change to my knowledge has occurred which changes the behavior in later versions. As of Caché 2018.1.6+/IRIS 2020.1.2+ versions, a code change (DP-405710) has resulted in Journal I/O Wait no longer counting the time the system spends waiting on QOS. Because of this, the failover risk regarding QOS and Journal I/O timeout is eliminated. Other system timeouts exist at larger timeout lengths which the QOS still may run afoul of (such as the Write Daemon timeout at 5 minutes), so excessive QOS timeouts are still discouraged.
