We've got a bunch of new FAS6000 and FAS3000 series clusters in recently and CFO seems to take less than 20 seconds during testing before any real load is placed on them (minimal load during testing). We've seen between 4 and 12 seconds for CF Takeover, and 1 and 16 seconds for CF Giveback.
Using loopback adapters for 'open' FC ports help as well.

How long should it take a filer to fail over from one head to another? When I force a failover (cf forcetakeover) from one head the other goes down for minutes. Here's what I see on the console. This is a new filer with very little traffic going to it and FC is not even set up yet, all NFS/CIFS.

cf forcetakeover may lead to data corruption; really force a takeover? yes
