Abstract:
A computer-implemented method for transferring a reserve to a target host, according to one embodiment, includes granting to a source system, by a control unit, a reserve for a volume of a storage device. A push reserve command is received from the source system. The push reserve command specifies: a transfer of the reserve to a target system, parameter data identifying the target system, and path information specifying the source system. The reserve is transferred only to the target system in response to release of the reserve by the source system.
