Description
3rdPty
The third party reservation option for RESERVE UNIT allows an initiator to reserve a
logical unit for another SCSI device. This option is intended for systems that use
COPY, and is implemented by the tape drive.
If set to 1, logical unit is reserved for the SCSI device whose ID appears in the Third
Party Device ID field. The tape drive ignores any attempt made by any other
initiator to release the reservation and returns a GOOD status.
If set to 0, no third party reservation is requested and device is reserved for the
initiator that issued the CDB.
Third Party
Device ID
If 3rdPty is set to 1 (indicating that an initiator has reserved the logical unit for
another SCSI device), this field contains the ID number of that SCSI device for
which the reservation was made.
