6.Command Specification PERSISTENT RESERVE IN

GENERATION: This field will contain a 32-bit counter maintained by the drive that will be incremented every time a PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command requests a REGISTER, a CLEAR, a PREEMPT, or a PREEMPT AND ABORT service action. The counter will not be incremented by a PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command, by a PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command that performs a RESERVE or RELEASE service action, or by a PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command that is not performed due to an error or reservation conflict. The generation value will be set to 0 as part of the power on reset process.

Additional Length: This filed contains a counter of the number of bytes in the Reservation key list. If the allocation length specified by the PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command is not sufficient to contain the entire parameter list, then only the bytes from 0 to the maximum allowed allocation length will be sent to the application client. The incremental remaining bytes will be truncated, although the Additional Length field will still contain the actual number of bytes in the reservation key list without consideration of any truncation resulting from an insufficient allocation length. This will not be considered an error.

Reservation Key: The reservation key list contains the 8-byte reservation keys for all initiators that have registered through all ports with drive.

The returned the parameter data provided in response to a PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command with the READ RESERVATION service action has the following format:

GENERATION: This field will be defined for the PERSISTENT RESERVE IN READ KEYS parameter data.

Additional Length: This filed contains a counter of the number of bytes to follow in Reservation descriptor. If the allocation length specified by the PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command is not sufficient to contain the entire parameter list, then only the bytes from 0 to the maximum allowed allocation length will be sent to the application client. The incremental remaining bytes will be truncated, although the Additional Length field will still contain the actual number of bytes of Reservation descriptor and will not be affected by the truncation. This will not be considered an error.

Reservation descriptor: The format of this field is defined in Table 6-59.

The Reservation descriptor for each reservation will contain the Reservation Key under which the persistent reservation is held. The TYPE and SCOPE of each persistent reservation as present in the PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command that created the persistent reservation will be returned.

SCOPE-SPECIFIC Address: The drive does not support an Element reservation. This field will be set to zero.
