Chapter 12 Command Line Interface Reference

scsirouter reserveproxy

To configure the SCSI routing instance to track SCSI reserve/release commands and to specify whether

these commands are forwarded to the storage target, use the scsirouter reserveproxy command.

scsirouter name reserveproxy {enable passthru {yes | no} | disable}

Syntax Description

Defaults Reserve-proxy passthru is disabled.

Command Modes Administrator.

Command History

Usage Guidelines The SCSI reserve/release command allows an initiator to reserve the storage for its own use. Attempts

to access the storage from other initiators are rejected until the first initiator releases the storage. If the

reserve proxy feature is enabled using the scsirouter reserveproxy command, the storage router keeps

track of the reserved status of target LUNs and returns the appropriate SCSI command status to other

initiators that issue SCSI commands to that target LUN.

If passthru is enabled, the storage router forwards the SCSI reserve and release commands to the device.

If passthru is not enabled, the SCSI reserve and release commands are not forwarded, but the storage

router will respond as if the commands had been forwarded.

Note This functionality does not apply to operating systems (such as Windows NT) which do not utilize the

SCSI Reserve command.

Examples The following example configures the SCSI routing instance foo2 to track SCSI reserve and release

commands and enables forwarding of these commands to storage resources:

[SN5428-2A]# scsirouter foo2 reserveproxy enable passthru yes

name The name of the SCSI routing instance.

enable passthru yes Configure the SCSI routing instance to track SCSI reserve and release

commands and enable forwarding of these commands to storage resources.

enable passthru no Configure the SCSI routing instance to track SCSI reserve and release

commands but disable forwarding of these commands to storage resources.

disable Disable the reserve proxy feature for the named SCSI routing instance. The

storage router does not track the SCSI reserve and release commands, which

are sent from the IP host. The IP host manages the SCSI reserve and release

commands.
