Well, yes, but your multiple active path implementation just collapsed back down to single path in the face of reservations, so it would probably be better simply to use failover in the face of reservations and clustering. For the single path case, something like the HP MSA/EVA arrays simply throw away reservations on path switch over. This allows the user level watchdog code to reassert them in a cluster down the new path. However, there are array that will do a path switchover and then return reservation conflict to everyone (including the taking node). These arrays will need some type of special handling. James
