Multiple Fibre Channel initiators
Multiple Fibre Channel initiators share a Fibre
Channel connection on the SAN with a Fibre Bridge,
and there are no other initiators on the SCSI bus.
1
Fibre Channel Initiator 1 sends the
Reserve
command through the SAN to
the FibreBridge.
2
The FibreBridge determines that no
reservation conflict exists at Tier 1.
3
The FibreBridge records the initiator ID
(WWN) in its internal database.
4
The FibreBridge sends the
Reserve
command to the SCSI target.
5
The initiator is notified of reservation
success: the SCSI target is reserved.
6
Fibre Channel Initiator 2 sends the
Reserve
command through the SAN to
the FibreBridge.
7
The FibreBridge determines the SCSI
device is already reserved.
8
The FibreBridge rejects Fibre Channel
Initiator 2’s command and returns
reservation conflict.
9
The SCSI target remains reserved until a
Release
command is sent by Fibre
Channel Initiator 1.
Multiple FC & SCSI initiators
Several Fibre Channel initiators share a Fibre Channel
connection on the SAN
with a FibreBridge,
and several initiators
share the SCSI bus.
1
Fibre
Channel
Initiator 1
sends the
Reserve
command
through the
SAN to
FibreBridge 1
for a SCSI
target.
2
FibreBridge
1 determines
that no
reservation
conflict exists at Tier 1.
3
The FibreBridge records the initiator ID
(WWN) in its internal database.
4
Fibre Bridge 1 sends the
Reserve
command to the SCSI target.
5
The initiator is notified of reservation
success: the SCSI target is reserved.
6
Fibre Channel Initiator 3 sends the
Reserve
command through the SAN to
FibreBridge 2.
7
FibreBridge 2 determines that no
reservation conflict exists at Tier 1.
8
FibreBridge 2 records the initiator ID
(WWN) in its internal database.
9
FibreBridge 2 sends the
Reserve
command to the same SCSI target.
10
The SCSI target is already reserved by
FibreBridge 1 and rejects FibreBridge 2’s
reserve command.
11
SCSI Target returns
reservation conflict
to FibreBridge 2.
12
FibreBridge 2 removes its internal
reserve indicator for the initiator.
13
FibreBridge 2 returns
reservation conflict
to Fibre Channel Initiator 3.
14
The SCSI target remains reserved by
Fibre Channel Initiator 1.
