Clearing persistent reservations
Sometimes it is not possible to clear the persistent reservation from the host. This is the case
if a cluster host had been decommissioned without being shut down cleanly. Any persistent
reservations prevent the associated logical drives from being deleted or changed in any way.
There is an option to clear the logical drive reservations from the Storage Manager
Subsystem Management window by selecting Advanced  Maintenance  Persistent
Reservations.
1. In the upper-left corner of the Persistent Reservations window, make sure that the View
Associated Registrations check box is cleared.
2. Click one or more desired logical drives. To select all of the logical drives, click Select All.
3. Click Clear.
4. In the text box in the Clear Registrations/Reservations dialog, type yes, and click OK. If
you do not want to clear any reservations, click Cancel to return to the Persistent
Reservations dialog.
The reservation and registrations that were associated with the logical drives that you
highlighted in the upper pane are now cleared.
Target reset
It is normal to see TGT Reset events logged in the Major Event Log (MEL) during a host
cluster failover. A support call will need to be logged for any unexplained target reset events.
