Table 5-115 presents the definitions of the characters of the available “Type” values
from the Type field of the PERSISTENT RESERVATION IN Read Reservations

Each of the codes provides handling instructions for READ operations, for WRITE
operations, and for subsequent attempts to establish persistent reservations (referred to
as “Additional Reservations Allowed” in the table).
