Perfect ... thanks. I read that section a few times but must have had
blinders on when I hit that paragraph.

Ok, I re-read section 6.3.4, and see an easy out. You don't need the LRU
list you were talking about. ;-)

Make use of the paragraph that starts, "IF the logical unit does not
retain state..." and you're fine. Just send the UA/POWER ON OCCURRED and
you're set.

If there is a persistent reservation, you are retaining state so you have
to remember if you logged out due to nexus loss. But that is just one bit
on top of all the other weight of a reservation, and also you can note the
resource shortage when a future initiator attempts to make a new
registration (or reservation).

So you don't need the LRU list.

Take care,
