Data Field
Description
Generation
The value in this field is a 32-bit counter in the device server that is incremented
each time a PERSISTENT RESERVATION OUT command requests a Register,
Clear, Pre-empt, or Pre-empt and Clear operation. Note that PERSISTENT
RESERVATION IN commands do not increment the counter, nor do PERSISTENT
RESERVATION OUT commands that perform a Reserve or Release service action,
or by a PERSISTENT RESERVATION OUT command that is not done due to an
error or a reservation conflict. The value in the Generation field is set to 0 as part
of the power on or reset processes.
The value in the Generation field allows the application client that examines the
value to verify that the configuration of the initiators attached to a logical unit
has not been modified by another application client without any notification of
the application client doing the examination.
Additional

the logical unit when the PERSISTENT RESERVATION IN command has indicated
