RELEASE UNIT
The RELEASE UNIT command removes a reservation made by a RESERVE UNIT
command. If there is an existing reservation from the same initiator with the same
parameters, then that reservation is removed and Good status is returned. It is not
an error to attempt to release a reservation that is not currently valid or is held by
another initiator. In this case, the drive returns Good status without altering any
reservation.
