The sense data:
1) shall be available if a contingent allegiance condition exists for the
I_T_x nexus;
2) shall be available if other information is available in any field;
3) may be available if an unexpected disconnect occurred.
If the target has no other sense data available to return, it shall return
a sense key of NO SENSE and an additional sense code of NO
ADDITIONAL SENSE INFORMATION.
The sense data shall be preserved by the target for the initiator until
retrieved by a REQUEST SENSE command or until the receipt of
any other I/O process for the same I_T_x nexus. Sense data shall be
cleared upon receipt of any subsequent I/O process (including
REQUEST SENSE) to the same I_T_x nexus.
The sense data format for error code 70h(current errors) is
supported.
