It also enables you to specify which commands the DSM is to use. Typically, SCSI Reserve and Release commands are used in clustered environments where it is necessary to limit access to a target device to only one host at a time. Persistent Reservation refers to a set of SCSI-3 commands that replace the original Reserve and Release commands with a more sophisticated mechanism that provides better support for SAN and multipath configurations. The pgr command shows whether the DSM is currently using SCSI-3 Persistent commands and the PGR key. If the pgr command is enabled, the DSM uses SCSI-3 Persistent commands.
