Multiple Initiator Support

The library supports multiple initiators.

  • The library supports unit reserve, release, and persistent reserve commands. Host software should reserve resources whenever possible.
  • The library does not maintain a separate "prevent" or "allow" state for each initiator. There is a single state for all initiators. Therefore, if any initiator sends a Prevent Medium Removal command, the library locks the CAPs. If any initiator sends an Allow Media Removal command, the library unlocks the CAPs. For more information, see Prevent/Allow Medium Removal (1Eh).
