Scope
The value in this field indicates whether a persistent reservation applies to an entire
logical unit, to a part of the logical unit (defined as an extent), or to an element.
The values for the Scope field are:
Code Name Description
0h LU
Logical Unit. Persistent reservation applies to the full
logical unit. The LU scope is therefore implemented by
all device servers that implement PERSISTENT RESER-
VATION OUT.
1h Extent
Persistent reservation applies to the specified extent.
When Extent is the scope, it indicates that the persis-
tent reservation applies to the extent of the logical unit
defined by the Scope-Specific Address and Extent
Length fields in the PERSISTENT RESERVATION OUT
command’s parameter list. Note that an extent is de-
fined only for devices defining contiguous logical block
addresses. The Extent scope is optional for all device
servers that implement PERSISTENT RESERVATION
OUT.
2h
Ele-
ment
Persistent reservation applies to the specified element.
When Element is the scope, it indicates that the persis-
tent reservation applies to the element of the logical
unit defined by the Scope-Specific Address field in the
PERSISTENT RESERVATION OUT parameter list. An
element is as defined by the SCSI-3 Medium Changer
Commands (SMC) standard. The Element scope is op-
tional for all device servers that implement PERSIS-
TENT RESERVATION OUT.
