Together with the RELEASE command, this command controls exclusive access to the logical unit (HDD) under a multi-initiator environment.

The HDD is reserved by this command for the INIT which issued this command.

The values specified in bytes 2 to 4 of the CDB have no meaning and are disregarded, but it is preferable that the INIT specify X'00' in these bytes.

(1) Logical unit reserve function

This command reserves the entire HDD (logical unit) for use as a special SAS device. The reserve state established by this command is maintained until any one of the following conditions occurs.

1)Reserve is released by a RELEASE command from the INIT that issued this command.

2)Receiving HARD RESET primitive from any INIT.

3)Switching the HDD's power off or on.

When an HDD is reserved for any SAS device, if this command is issued by an INIT that doesn't have the "Reserve Right" for that HDD, this command is terminated with a RESERVATION CONFLICT status.

After the Reserved status is established, a command issued by an INIT other than the device that reserved the HDD is rejected, except an INQUIRY, REQUEST SENSE, REPORT LUNS, or RELEASE command, and a RESERVATION CONFLICT status is reported to the INIT that issued that command. A RELEASE command is the release operation specified in a RELEASE command issued to the HDD by a SAS device which does not have the Reserve Right is disregarded.
