Hi,
I have installed/configured the Starwind Tape Redirector and, while I can added to iSCSI initiator locally, I can't connect to the iscsi target from a VM on the same lan. Firewalls are off.

I followed these instructions:
https://www.starwindsoftware.com/tape-d ... ackup-exec

The default port was changed to 3260.

On the VM in question I get this warning:

iSCSI discovery via SendTargets failed with error code 0x00002af9 to target portal *iqn.2008-08.com.starwindsoftware:server.domain.com-tapelib 0003260 ROOT\ISCSIPRT\0000_0 .

What could be the issue?

Thanks for your time!

I figured it out. Since I alredy had SAN connections on 3260, I changed to starwind port to a free port and I was able to connect the iscsi.
Instructions here:

Even though iSCSI is connected I still can't see the tape library on my test VM..
