Greetings. I am very new to my job and your software and I have some questions. I have consulted Google and the FAQs and I can't seem to find an answer. Currently my task is to install iSCSI support on a Windows blade (using W2K3 Server Ed.) What has happened is that we have created two partitions (Windows and Windows2). On the second parition, we place an image file so we can have a Linux blade point to it. I am able to get the ISCSI service started on Linux but on Windows, StarWind keeps returing an error message simliar to the following post:

http://www.starwindsoftware.com/forums/ ... .php?t=316

I tried all and still unsuccesful. Any help or suggestions?

Please run: netstat -ab
and make sure that StarWindService.exe is listeting on the 3260 and 3261 ports.

Run: telnet localhost 3260
and make sure you are able to establish connection.

Run: telnet localhost 3261
and make sure you are able to establish connection.

Check your firewall rules. Check windows firewall.

[mastachef]

Thank you much. I tried those and here are my results:

command: netstat -ab
result: both ports are not listed

command: telnet localhost 3260 & 3261
result: could not open connection on either port.

I checked under Services and tried to start the StarWind service and it starts and then stops. I checked the Windows Firewall and the firewall is 'Diabled'. Is there something outside of StarWind that has to be done in order to connect?

It is interesting.
Is it possible for you to send us (support@rocketdivision.com) StarWind logs (c:\Program Files\Rocket Division Software\StarWind\logs\)?

I tried sending the log but I received the Spam arrest notification and it wouldn't verify. Here is the log:

I think here is the answer:

7/24 8:40:18.484 798 Srv: bind() to 172.17.0.38:3260 failed: The requested address is not valid in its context. (code: 10049).

Please check your network settings and make sure that any other service is not listening on 172.17.0.38:3260

ipconfig /all
netstat -ab

[mastachef]

Nope. Still not connecting. Do I need StarPort and StarWind to have this working?

[Bohdan (staff)]

Is this correct IP addres 172.17.0.38 ?
Please show us (email or forum) the information of

netstat -ab > c:\netstat.txt
and
ipconfig /all > c:\interfaces.txt

utilities.
