How to do SCSI Target Reset?

[hetal]

Hi Everyone,

I am planning to use SCSI Reserve/Release for SCSI Devices. Since
software that I work on operates in multiple host environments, if
original host dies somehow before releasing reservation, we want to
release the reservation using SCSI Target Reset if possible and if
it's not possible then through SCSI Bus Reset.

Is there a way to send SCSI Target Reset on Windows directly from
Application?
If not then how can we do it?
I read about doing this through ASPI.
Does all type of Host Adapters/Windows OS versions support ASPI? If
not, where can I get list of adapter/OS that is ASPI compatible?
Is there any alternative to ASPI?

I want to do same on UNIX and Netware. How can we achieve this? Can we
do this using Pass Throug IOCTLS?

Thanks for your time and feedback in advance. I will appreciate any
help on this.
Hetal.

You do realize this is a BeOS newsgroup do you? As that is not one of the
OSes mentioned in your message.

If you are interested in BeOS appoach check out www.BeBits.com and see if
there is any software for what you want there.
