Given your example below, does this mean that 3 reservations could be
SCSI-2 and the other 3 persistent reservations.=20

All types of reservations are confined to a logical unit. So if you =
have
6=20
logical units you could have 6 reservations from 6 different =
initiators.

Subject: Persistent Reservation question=20
I have a question regarding the degree of mutual exclusion of RESERVE=20
commands and PERSISTENT RESERVE IN/OUT commands.=20
In the SPC-2 working draft rev. 18, section 5.5.1, page 21, the third=20
paragraph states that "if a logical unit has been reserved by any
RESERVE=20
command and is still reserved by any initiator, all PERSISTENT RESERVE
IN=20
and all PERSISTENT RESERVE OUT commands shall conflict regardless of=20
initiator or service action and shall terminate with a RESERVATION
CONFLICT=20
status".=20
My question is, does that mean a PERSISTENT RESERVE IN/OUT command to
any=20
logical unit or only the logical unit that is reserved using a RESERVE=20
command? In other words, can the two different types of reservations=20
co-exist as long as they have been executed by different logical units? =
Thanks.=20
