T10 is going to discuss this issue on a Friday conference call for both iSCSI and SRP (InfiniBand) and should have a recommendation for you then. Anyone interested is welcome to join the discussion. Here is the meeting announcement posted to the T10 mailing list: * From the T10 Reflector (t10@t10.org), posted by: * "Simpson, Cris" <cris.simpson@intel.com> * The SRP WG will discuss reservation issues for at least the first hour of this Friday's conference call. As the issues are of wide concern to the SCSI community, all interested parties are invited to participate.
