Based on section 7.9 in SCSI-2 rev 10K (second half of section) it is unclear as
to what action the target should take in the following situation.
1. Target has a pending Unit Attention condition for all initiators.
2. Initiator A selects the target, gets the Unit Attn, and then creates a
"normal" reservation (not 3rd party, not "persistent").
3. Initiator B issues a Test Unit Ready to the target and gets the Reservation
Conflict (higher priority status as noted in 7.9).
4. Initiator A releases the reservation.
5. Initiator B issues another Test Unit Ready to the target.
Q: Will Initiator B get a Unit Attention OR should the UA condition have been
cleared by the TUR which resulted in a reservation conflict?
Alternate question: What do most peripherals do in this situation?
Thanks very much for the help.
