reg: ISCSI Aborted attempt entry in IBFT Table

[Sivaraman Nainar <sivaramann@amiindia.co.in>]

Hello all:
Here is the issue which requires clarification.
Issue Synopsis:
When there are more than one iSCSI target configured and Ibft table published with the connected and aborted attempt details, all the targets are not seen in ESXi and SLES OS. But in Windows it can see the targets connected.
Use case:
Target 1: IP : 192.xx.xx.31             Target 2 : IP : 192.xx.xx.1
NIC 1 configured with attempts Target 1 & Target 2
NIC 2 configured with attempts Target 1

When the attempts which are login success but Aborted by ISCSI Driver are present in ibft table SLES and ESX not able to see the targets during Installation.
If the ISCSI Driver not adding the ibft entry for the aborted attempts then the targets are seen in Esx and SLES.
So it requires clarification that If the driver need to SKIP adding the aborted attempt entry to ibft or its OS responsibility to handle the invalid entries in ibft.
