Release Element (10) Command (57h)
The RELEASE and the RESERVE commands are used for contention
resolution in multiple-initiator systems. The
RELEASE (10) command is
used to release a previously reserved logical unit. The media changer will
not return an error if the initiator attempts to release a reservation that is
not currently valid.
