You can control how ONTAP manages tape device reservations by using the tape.reservations
option. By default, tape reservation is turned off.
Enabling the tape reservations option can cause problems if tape drives, medium changers, bridges, or libraries do not work properly. If tape commands report that the device is reserved when no other storage systems are using the device, this option should be disabled.
