Third-party release is not requested.

1

The initiator requests third-party release. The value in the Third-Party Device ID

field is valid.

LongID

This is always zero because device IDs greater than 255 are not supported.

Third-Party Device ID

This is required and used only when the 3rd Pty bit is set. The device will perform the

release operation only if the initiator ID, the 3rd Pty bit and the Third-Party Device ID

are identical to those in the

RESERVE UNIT

command that established the reservation.

The drive ignores any attempt to release the reservation made by any other initiator,

including the initiator for which the reservation was made.
If an initiator reserved the drive using a third-party reservation over itself, a non-third-

party

RELEASE UNIT

command could also release the reservation.
