For any SCSI command, if the driver receives IOC status = SCSI_IOC_TERMINATED 
and log info = 0x32010081 then that command will be completed with DID_RESET 
host status.

The definition of this log info value is "Virtual IO has failed and has to be 
retried".

Firmware will provide this log info value with IOC Status 
"SCSI_IOC_TERMINATED", whenever a drive (with is a part of a volume) is pulled 
and pushed back within some minimal delay.  With this log info value, firmware 
informs the driver to retry the failed IO command infinite times, so to provide 
some time for the firmware to discover the reinserted drive successfully 
instated of just retrying failed command for five times( doesn't giving enough 
time for firmware to complete the drive discovery) and failing the IO 
permanently even though drive came back successfully.
