SDLT 600 SCSI Interface Guide Chapter 4: SCSI Commands
81-81200-02 REV A01 January 2005 4-231
A reservation with the RESERVE UNIT command remains in effect until one of the following
conditions is met:
• Another valid RESERVE UNIT command from the initiator supersedes it.
• A RELEASE UNIT command from the same initiator releases it.
• A TARGET RESET message from any initiator releases it.
• A reset condition releases it.
The occurrence of the last two conditions is indicated by the drive returning a CHECK CONDITION
status, Sense Key set to UNIT ATTENTION on the next command following the condition. It is not an
error to issue a RESERVE UNIT command to a drive that is currently reserved by the requesting
initiator.
If another initiator has previously reserved the drive, the drive returns a RESERVATION CONFLICT
status.
If, after honoring the reservation, any other initiator attempts to perform any command except
INQUIRY, REQUEST SENSE, or RELEASE UNIT, the drive rejects the command with a
RESERVATION CONFLICT status. That drive ignores a RELEASE UNIT command issued by
another initiator.
An initiator that holds a current reservation may modify that reservation—for example, to switch third
parties—by issuing another RESERVE UNIT command to the drive.
