5.19 RELEASE UNIT (6) Command (17h)
The RELEASE UNIT (6) command is a 6-byte command that releases the drive if it is
currently reserved by the requesting initiator. It is not an error to release the tape drive if
it is not currently reserved by the requesting initiator. If the tape drive is reserved by
another initiator, however, it is not released; the tape drive is only released from the
initiator that issued the RELEASE command.
