Doug,

We'd bee better off if we understand the expectations of Windows initiator
by comparing its report and the actually returned VPD data.
So we need to connect the *same* target from both Windows and Linux.
Could you connect to Windows iscsi target locally, from the Windows machine?

And regarding fibre channel in Windows, does this tool provide any useful info?
