Abstract
A method of implementing a logical unit reset across a plurality of interfaces in a distributed storage system, comprising: initiating a session for implementing the logical unit reset across the plurality of interfaces in response to receiving at a central controller a logical unit reset command from an originator interface, and writing session-data including an indication that the originator interface implemented the respective logical unit reset locally; communicating a logical unit reset command from the central controller to each interface other than the originator interface; updating the session data in response to receiving an indication from an interface that the logical unit was successfully reset locally and when each one of the plurality of interfaces implemented the logical unit reset locally, communicating a success response to each one of the plurality of interfaces.
