I have 2 iSCSI fileio backstores.
I try to Determine whether shared disks can be used as tiebreaker disks . For that I run on the iSCSI initiator a tool from IBM to release the reservation:
[root@softiwarp-1 ~]# /media/distr-ro/db2/10.5/linuxx64/v10.5fp7_linuxx64_universal_fixpack/universal/./db2/linuxamd64/install/tb_break -u -t SCSI WWID=`scsi_id -g -u /dev/sdd`
Initializing SCSI tie-breaker (WWID=36001405bb9264c9e8c145429dbc76047)
Releasing tie-breaker (WWID=36001405bb9264c9e8c145429dbc76047)
tb_release status 0 (errno=0)
[root@softiwarp-1 ~]# /media/distr-ro/db2/10.5/linuxx64/v10.5fp7_linuxx64_universal_fixpack/universal/./db2/linuxamd64/install/tb_break -u -t SCSI WWID=`scsi_id -g -u /dev/sde`
Initializing SCSI tie-breaker (WWID=36001405ed3a0a03628a4108bc3e24a82)
Releasing tie-breaker (WWID=36001405ed3a0a03628a4108bc3e24a82)
tb_release status -1 (errno=25)
For one of the disks the command succeeds. The other fails and on the target in dmesg I see
Received legacy SPC-2 RESERVE/RELEASE while active SPC-3 registrations exist, returning RESERVATION_CONFLICT
What does it mean?
