Reservation is sent to one of the active path and reservation is applicable to registered I_T nexus with respect to pr type. I was expecting your device server to apply reservation to all the registered I_T nexus for pr type "Exclusive Access, all registrants". Can you verify the below output again? Please see below in SPC4 "For a persistent reservation of the type Write Exclusive – All Registrants or Exclusive Access – All Registrants, the persistent reservation holder is any registered I_T nexus;" >mpathpersist --out --reserve --param-rk=123abc --prout-type=8 -d >/dev/mapper/blah > >sg_persist -i -s /dev/mapper/blah > QNAP iSCSI Storage 3.1 > Peripheral device type: disk > PR generation=0x8 > Key=0x123abc > All target ports bit clear > Relative port address: 0x1 > not reservation holder > Transport Id of initiator: > iSCSI name and session id: iqn.2009- >11.com.adriaticsolutions:blah > Key=0x123abc > All target ports bit clear > Relative port address: 0x1 > << Reservation holder >> > scope: LU_SCOPE, type: Exclusive Access, all registrants > Transport Id of initiator: > iSCSI name and session id: iqn.2009- >11.com.adriaticsolutions:blah > >multipath -ll >blah (36001405c55fc03cd8193d491eda0d4d7) dm-4 QNAP,iSCSI Storage >size=10G features='0' hwhandler='0' wp=rw >`-+- policy='round-robin 0' prio=1 status=active > |- 16:0:0:0 sda 8:0 active ready running > `- 17:0:0:0 sdb 8:16 failed faulty running > >7. mpathpersist -d /dev/mapper/blah --in --read-reservation >Persistent Reserve IN command failed > Can you please share the output with verbose 3.

STEP 2) PRIN read reservation SA is sent to one of the active path to verify the reservation. STEP 3) If the Read Reservation parameter data indicates that the logical unit is still reserved then this indicates that the reservation holder belongs to a data path in failed state or removed data path of the multipath device, continue else goto step 7 STEP 4) PRIN Report Full Status service action is issued to any active data path. Full status descriptors are saved. STEP 5) PROUT clear reservation service action is sent via any active data path to clear the reservation and Registrants STEP 6) all registrants are restored by issuing PROUT register service action with transport IDs from the full status descriptors saved in the step 4 STEP 7) exit with status It looks like you are getting into some other issue.
