iSCSI: TargetAlias in SendTargets reply?

[andy currid <andy@windriver.com>]

Folks

I think it would be useful to permit iSCSI targets to optionally
return the TargetAlias text key in their replies to a SendTargets
text request used in a discovery session.

As currently defined in draft 9, the target records sent in
response to a SendTargets request may only include the text
keys TargetName and TargetAddress.

It seems to me that TargetAlias is potentially at its most
useful during discovery sessions, when a human operator may
be involved.

I suggest we permit TargetAlias to be optionally returned by
a target in its response to SendTargets.

Comments?
