DMX4 SCSI-3 Reservation - Whether “LU_SCOPE” is implemented??
When Linux hosts are trying to get SCSI3 reservation at DMX4 volumes, reservations are failing. While, we took End-To-End trace during the reservation, we can see that DMX4 is rejecting Persistent_Reserve_Out(Register) command sent by LINUX host. Here is the screenshot from the collected trace
As per standard if scope filed of CDB specifies a scope that is not implemented then command is terminated with check condition and additional sense code set to as “Invalid Field In CDB”
We are seeing the same failure as mentioned above. Scope field value used by host is “LU_SCOPE”. Now as per standard it is the correct value So it is clear that DMX4 is rejecting the register command.
Can any one confirm whether CDB field type “LU_SCOPE” is implemented or not with DMX4. If yes, than why I am seeing the failure. Director Port flags are as below -

Is the SCSI3_persistent_reservation flag set on the devices you are using?

Thanks Jason for quick response.
At FC director ports, I have setup - SCSI_3(SC3) : Enabled
But not at device level....Once I have enabled SCSI3_persistent_reservation flag with each device, SCSI3 Linux cluster reservation worked....
So, Followup question - It seems DMX4 reservation steps are way different than VMAX. With DMX4, is there a way to enable SCSI3_persistent_reservation flag at Storage array itself instead of each device level?
Thanks

With VMAX, the device PER flag defaults to YES, compared to NO with DMX. That's the only difference really... an additional step required on DMX if PER is needed.
