The Reservation Register command is used to register, unregister, or replace a reservation key.OPTIONS
-n <nsid>, --namespace-id=<nsid>
Override the nsid field. If using the admin character device, this parameter is required.
-c <crkey>, --crkey=<crkey>
Current Reservation Key: If the Reservation Register Action is 001b (i.e., Unregister Reservation Key) or 010b (i.e., Replace Reservation Key), then this field contains the
current reservation key associated with the host. For all other Reservation Register Action values, this field is reserved. The controller ignores the value of this field when the
Ignore Existing Key (IEKEY) bit is set to ‘1’.
-k <nrkey>, --nrkey=<nrkey>
New Reservation Key: If the Reservation Register Action is 000b (i.e., Register Reservation Key) or 010b (i.e., Replace Reservation Key), then this field contains the new
reservation key associated with the host. For all other Reservation Register Action values, this field is reserved.
-p <cptpl>, --cptpl=<cptpl>
Change Persist Through Power Loss State: This field allows the Persist Through Power Loss state associated with the namespace to be modified as a side effect of processing this
command.
