HP MSA 2040 CLI Reference Guide

release volume 111

release volume

Description Clears host registrations and releases persistent reservations for all or specified volumes. Normally,

reservations placed on volumes by hosts accessing those volumes can be released by host software.

This command should be used only when the system is in an abnormal state, perhaps due to a

configuration problem, and you need to remove all reservations for specified volumes and return

them to a “clean” state.

CAUTION: Releasing reservations for volumes may allow unintended access to those volumes by

other hosts, which may result in data corruption. Before issuing this command, quiesce all hosts that

have visibility to the volumes whose reservations will be released.
