Hi Siva,

Per design, the iSCSI multipath I/O will publish all configured attempts to 
IBFT, no matter the connection is success or fail currently.
Did you enable the MPIO when you configure the attempts? 

I am not clear what do you mean "aborted attempt".

Thanks,
Ting

Subject: [edk2] reg: ISCSI Aborted attempt entry in IBFT Table

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 Connection

Login

Ibft

Block Device in UEFI Shell

SLES / Esx OS

Windows

NIC1 Target1

NIC1 Target2

Success

Target Seen



NIC1 Target1
NIC1 Target2
NIC2 Target1

Individual Login success

Published for all attempts (3)

NIC1 Target 1 NIC2 Target 1

None Seen

NIC1 Target 1 NIC2 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.
