Dear RocketDivision Support,
I am setting up the lab environment. I got a strange situation here.
- The StarWind Target server only accept the StarPort connection from localhost 127.0.0.1
- I try to use StarPort locally together with StarWind server. I only can connect to the iSCSI disk by connecting to 127.0.0.1, not on the IP of hte NICs.
- The StarWind Target server and the StarPort client are located on the same VLAN. There is no firewall in between or enabled locally.
- There is not any StartPort able to connect to the StarWind Target on the network. I looks like the StarWind server only accept the iSCSI connection from localhost.
- I try to ping the IP address of the StarWind server. It replies.
- telnet the port 3260 on localhost of StartWind server. It replies.
- telnet the port 3260 on the IP of hte NICs of the StartWind server. It DOES NOT reply.
- I checked the switch VLAN configuration, which is correct.
- The iSCSI interface is a teaming NIC formed by two Intel Server NIC. (Teaming is removed at the moment, but still the same error.)
- StarPort is in use.
- No MS iSCSI initiator is in use.
- Do you have any idea that I can do more trouble shooting about this?
- Should I disable the teaming both on StarWind and StartPort servers?
Thanks in advanced,
BR,
Maverick

Hi,
- telnet the port 3260 on localhost of StartWind server. It replies.
- telnet the port 3260 on the IP of hte NICs of the StartWind server. It DOES NOT reply.
- I checked the switch VLAN configuration, which is correct.
It seems to be a network problem.
Check your client machine whether it allows outgoing iSCSI connections (to port 3260).
By default StarWind listens at any network interface. Check if the StarWind.cfg file includes <Interface value="0.0.0.0"/>.
Best regards,
Valeriy

Hi.
Please check if you have any IPSec policies assigned.
Administrative tools -> Local security policy -> IP Security policies on Local Computer.
Also please try: telnet <StarWind IP> 3261

I checked. There is no IPSec policies assigned.
Telent to "<StarWind IP> 3261" has response, but I cannot use StarPort to connect to StarWind Server via the port.
But I got some error message from the license.

Hi Bohdan,
Thanks for your support.
I already receive another license. I will try it...
For me, you can close the case.
On the other hand, I am tunning the performance of the StartPort Server. Because I only have 5Mbs speed... I will look into another thread first.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Maverick

Hi Anton,
About "how to accelerate TCP/IP stack", do I have to do it on both StarWind and initiator or only StarWind target server?
Thanks in advanced.
