Table 5-117PERSISTENT RESERVATION OUT Parameter List-Field Descriptions

Data Field

Description

 

This field contains an 8-byte token that is provided by the application client to the device server

 

to identify which initiator is the source of the PERSISTENT RESERVATION OUT command.

Reservation Key

The device server verifies that the Reservation Key in the PERSISTENT RESERVATION OUT

command matches the Reservation Key that is registered for the initiator from which the com-

 

 

mand is received. If there is no match, the device server returns a RESERVATION CONFLICT

 

status. The Reservation Key of the initiator is valid for all Service action and Scope values.

 

This field contains information needed for 3 service actions: the Register service action, the Pre-

 

empt service action, and the Pre-empt & Clear service action. The Service Action Reservation Key

 

is ignored for all other service actions.

 

For the Register service action, the Service Action Reservation Key field contains the new Reser-

Service Action

vation Key to be registered.

Reservation Key

For the Pre-empt and the Pre-empt & Clear service actions, the Service Action Reservation Key

 

 

contains the reservation key of the persistent reservations that are being pre-empted. For the Pre-

 

empt and the Pre-empt & Clear actions, any failure of the Service Action Reservation Key to

 

match any registered keys results in the device server returning a RESERVATION CONFLICT

 

status.

 

If the Scope is an Extent reservation, this field contains the Logical Block Address of the extent

 

and the Extent Length field (bytes 22 – 23) contain the number of blocks in the extent.

Scope-Specific

If the Scope signifies an Element reservation, the Scope-Specific Address field contains the Ele-

Address

ment Address, zero-filled in the most significant bytes to fit the field; the Extent Length is set to 0.

 

If the Service action is Register or Clear, or if the Scope is a Logical Unit reservation, both the

 

Scope-Specific Address and Extent Length fields are set to 0.

 

Activate Persist Through Power Loss. This bit is valid only for Register service actions; it is ig-

 

nored for all other types of service actions.

 

Support for APTPL set to 1 is optional. If a device server that does not support APTPL receives a

 

1 in that bit in a Register service action, it returns a CHECK CONDITION status, with the sense

APTPL

key set to ILLEGAL REQUEST and additional sense data set to INVALID FIELD IN PARAM-

ETER LIST.

 

If the last valid APTPL bit value received by the device server is 0, the loss of power in the target

 

releases any persistent reservations and removes all reservation keys. If the last valid APTPL bit

 

value is 1, the logical unit retains all persistent reservations and all reservation keys for all initia-

 

tors even if power is lost and later returned. The most recently received valid APTPL value from

 

any initiator governs the logical unit’s behavior in the event of a power loss.
