PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT
The PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT command is used to request service actions that
reserve a logical unit or element for the exclusive or shared use of a particular
initiator. The command uses other service actions to manage and remove such
reservations. The command shall be used in conjunction with the PERSISTENT
RESERVE IN command and shall not be used with the RESERVE and RELEASE
commands. Initiators performing PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT service actions are
identified by a reservation key provided by the application client. An application
client may use the PERSISTENT RESERVE IN command to obtain the reservation
key for the initiator holding a persistent reservation and may use the PERSISTENT
RESERVE OUT command to preempt that reservation.
