Hello:

Section 6.20, in d1410 r3a says that "If a Host Protected Area has been created using 
the SET MAX ADDRESS command, all SET MAX ADDRESS EXT commands shall result in command 
aborted until the Host Protected Area is eliminated by use of the SET MAX ADDRESS 
command with the address value returned by the READ NATIVE MAX ADDRESS command"

Question: Will firing a SET MAX (volatile) command [NATIVE MAX] "eliminate" HPA 
according to definitions in spec or will it just amount to opening the HPA?

IOW if I do following:

        1. Create HPA with a SET MAX (non-volatile)
        2. Power reset
        3. Do a SET MAX (volatile) [native max] 
        4. SET MAX EXT (non volatile) 

Will this give me an error as in 8.48.1.6, ABRT "ABRT shall be set to one if a host 
protected area has been established by a SET MAX ADDRESS command,"?

Cheers,
Mukesh
