[ofw] SRP and Multiple Port HCA

[Sufficool, Stanley]

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.
 
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.
 
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. 
 
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?
 
Does anyone have other ideas that will work with our current config?
