SCSI Commands

5.17RELEASE UNIT COMMAND (17h)

The RELEASE UNIT command 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.

3rdPty

The third party release option for RELEASE UNIT allows an initiator to release a

 

 

 

 

logical unit that was previously reserved using the third-party reservation option.

 

 

 

 

If this bit is 0, then the third-party release option is not requested. If this bit is set

 

 

 

 

to 1, the drive is released if it was originally reserved by the same initiator using

 

 

 

 

the third-party reservation option and if the tape drive is the same SCSI device

 

 

 

 

specified in the Third Party Device ID field.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Third Party

Required if the 3rdPty bit is 1. This field specifies the SCSI ID of the initiator

 

 

 

 

Device ID

whose third party reservation is being released. This field must be set if the

 

 

 

 

 

 

initiator of the original third party RESERVE is the source of the RELEASE.
