Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for receiving a Mode Select command concerning a logical unit number (LUN) from a first host, wherein the Mode Select command defines control information and host identifier information concerning the first host, and the LUN is currently being controlled by a second host. The Mode Select command is processed to determine if the control information and host identifier information included within the Mode Select command signifies an intent by the first host to seize control of the LUN from the second host. If the control information and host identifier information signifies an intent to seize control of the LUN from the second host, the control information and host identifier information included within the Mode Select command is written to a buffer associated with the LUN, wherein the buffer includes a control field and a globally unique identifier (GUID) field.
