Persistent Reserve In
The Persistent Reserve In (5Eh) and Persistent Reserve Out (5Fh) commands
resolve contention among multiple initiators and multiple-port targets within the
system.
The library uses the Persistent Reserve In command to identify which initiators are
holding conflicting or invalid persistent reservations.
