Table 4-83. PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT Command’s Service Action Descriptions
Code Name Description
00h Register When the command executes a Register service action, it registers a
Reservation Key with the drive without generating a reservation. The
drive holds these Reservation Keys from each initiator that performs a
PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command with a Register service action
until a new PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command with Register
service action from the same initiator changes the key or until the
initiator registration is removed by any of the following:
• Powering down the drive, if the last Activate Persist Through Power
Loss (APTPL; see Figure 4-81 on page 4-149 and Table 4-85 on
page 4-150) the drive received was 0.
• Performing a Clear service action.
• Performing a Pre-empt service action.
• Performing a Pre-empt & Clear service action.
• Performing a Register service action from the same initiator with the
value of the service action Reservation Key set to 0.
When a Reservation Key has not yet been established or when the
Reservation Key has been removed, a Reservation Key of 0 is used when
the initiator issues a PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command with the
Register service action. When the reservation has been removed, no
information is reported for the initiator in the Read Keys service action of
the resulting PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command.
01h Reserved A PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command with Reserve service action
creates a persistent reservation with a specified Scope and Type.
Persistent reservations are not superseded by a new persistent reservation
from any initiator except by the execution of a PERSISTENT RESERVE
OUT command that specifies a Release, Clear, Pre-empt, or Pre-empt &
Clear service action.
