In pt-2-pt mode, the initiator does not log into the target after a PRLI error. In pt-2-pt mode, the target responded to the PRLI by sending a LOGO. The LOGO causes all ELS and I/Os to be aborted. This caused the PRLI to fail. The PRLI completion path caused the discovery node to be dropped to avoid being stick in an UNUSED (not logged in) state. As the node was dropped there is no retry of the login and as it is pt-2-pt, there is no RSCN to retrigger discovery. Thus the other end is not seen by the os. Fix by ensuring the discovery node is not dropped if connecting pt-2-pt. This will cause PLOGI to be retried.
