Abstract
A method, system, apparatus, and signal-bearing media for finding a logical unit data structure associated with a command and a logical unit of a device, selecting a command table based on the logical unit data structure and a host that issued the command, indexing the command into the command table, and performing a routine indicated by the command table in response to the indexing. The command table may be a normal command table if no other host has reserved the logical unit or a reserved command table if another host has reserved the logical unit.
