The Reservation Type field defines the type of reservation in effect for the extent being reserved. Available types of reservations are shown in Table 5-185.

Reservation Type

 

Description

00b

 

READ shared. No write operations are permitted by any initiator to the re-

 

served extent. Any initiator may read from the extent.

 

 

01b

 

WRITE exclusive. No other initiator may write to the indicated extent.

 

Any initiator may read from the extent.

 

 

10b

 

READ exclusive. While this reservation is active, no other initiator may be

 

permitted to read to the indicated extent.

 

 

11b

 

Exclusive access. While this reservation is active, no other initiator is per-

 

mitted any access to the reserved extent.

 

 

RelAdr is always 0: The Maxtor Atlas 10K V hard disk drive does not support relative addressing.

If both the LongID and the Extent bits = 1, then the parameter list takes the format shown in Table 5-186.
