The Reservation Type field defines the type of reservation in effect for the extent
being reserved. Available types of reservations are shown in Table 5-93.

Table 5–93 Reservation Types

Reservation Type

Description

00b

READ shared. No write operations are permitted by any initiator to
the reserved 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
permitted any access to the reserved extent.

RelAdr is always 0: The Quantum Atlas 10K II 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 Figure 5-92.
