Abstract
In a method of and a system for managing reselection of an initiator by a target on a SCSI bus, the target attempts to secure control of the bus for a first reselection cycle to reselect the initiator. If the target fails to secure control of the bus for the first reselection cycle and the target is selected by the initiator for a selection cycle, the target processes the selection cycle. However, concurrently with processing the selection cycle, substantially immediately after the bus becomes free, and before the target completes processing the selection cycle, the target attempts to secure control of the bus for a second reselection cycle to reselect the initiator.
