<DIV><SPAN class=703372615-05082009><FONT face=Arial size=2>When I attempt to
connect WinOF SRP to an OFED SRP Target, WinOF SRP immediately disconnects after
establishing the connection. This is occurring on a 2 port HCA initiator to
a 2 port HCA target with redundant paths through 2 switches.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703372615-05082009><FONT face=Arial size=2>IIRC the past
solution was to unplug the redundant path because WinOF SRP does not have multi
path DSM to handle the visibility of the disk on multiple paths. Unfortunately,
we have IPoIB apps that use the redundancy, so this is not an
option.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703372615-05082009><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can mask off the
redundant path at the target using SCST group to name assignments, but the
naming of the SRP is by NODE not PORT so I do not have a unique name per port to
close one of the paths. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703372615-05082009><FONT face=Arial size=2>The only fix I see
for Windows SRP and multi path is to provide an option to use port
based naming on the SRP Target for establishing sessions. Or is this something
that can be taken care of at the WinOF side with a registry entry or discover /
connect tool?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=703372615-05082009><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have
other ideas that will work with our current config?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
