    The value of the SHADOW_REC_DLY parameter specifies the length
    of time a system waits before it attempts to manage recovery
    operations on shadow sets that are mounted on the system.
    A shadow set is said to need recovery when a merge or copy
    operation is required on that shadow set.

    SHADOW_REC_DLY can be used to better predict which systems in
    an OpenVMS Cluster performs recovery operations. This is done
    by setting lower values of SHADOW_REC_DLY on systems that are
    preferred to handle recovery operations and higher values of
    SHADOW_REC_DLY on systems that are least preferred to handle
    recovery operations.

    The range of SHADOW_REC_DLY is 20 to 65535 seconds. The default
    value is 20 seconds.

    For more information about controlling which systems perform the
    merge or copy operations, see VSI Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS.

    SHADOW_REC_DLY is a DYNAMIC parameter.
