Reservation handling in conjunction with switching between storage access protocols

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium having stored therein program code of one or more software programs, wherein the program code, when executed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory and configured to communicate over a network with a storage system, causes said at least one processing device:

• to register a logical storage device of a storage system for a first set of paths associated with a first access protocol using a host identifier;
• to send a first reservation command in the first access protocol over each of the paths in the first set of paths;
• to register the logical storage device of the storage system for a second set of paths associated with a second access protocol using the same host identifier used in registering the logical storage device for the first set of paths;
• to receive an additional reservation command in the first access protocol;
• and
• responsive to receipt of the additional reservation command in the first access protocol, to translate the additional reservation command to the second access protocol, and to send the additional reservation command in the second access protocol to the storage system.

A method comprising:

• registering a logical storage device of a storage system for a first set of paths associated with a first access protocol using a host identifier;
• sending a first reservation command in the first access protocol over each of the paths in the first set of paths;
• registering the logical storage device of the storage system for a second set of paths associated with a second access protocol using the same host identifier used in registering the logical storage device for the first set of paths;
• receiving an additional reservation command in the first access protocol;
• and
• responsive to receipt of the additional reservation command in the first access protocol, translating the additional reservation command to the second access protocol, and sending the additional reservation command in the second access protocol to the storage system;
• wherein the method is performed by at least one processing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory.
