Field Name Description
3rdPty The third-party reservation option for RESERVE UNIT allows an initiator to
reserve a logical unit for another SCSI device. This option is intended for
systems that use COPY and is implemented by the drive.
When set to 1, the drive is reserved for the SCSI device whose ID appears in
the Third Party Device ID field. The drive ignores any attempt made by any
other initiator to release the reservation and returns a GOOD status.
When set to 0, no third-party reservation is requested and the drive is reserved
for the initiator that issued the CDB.
Third Party
Device ID
If 3rdPty is set to 1, indicating that an initiator has reserved the drive for
another SCSI device, this field contains the ID number of the SCSI device for
which the reservation was made.
