## Discussion

If the task is unable to be delivered because the device has been detached, the task status shall be set to kSCSITaskStatus_DeviceNotPresent. This will allow the SCSI Application Layer to halt the sending of tasks to the device and, if supported, perform any device failover or system cleanup.
