Configure StarWind Free Edition - iSCSI SAN for use in ESXi5

[varazir]

Hello

I have a Windows 7 HomeED system where I have installed StarWind Free Edition and followed the guide how to create a target.
I have a ESXi Host that I'm trying to mount the target but I can't see any targets on the server.

Is there some way I can test that I have setup the target correct or if you know any setting I should look at in the server side ?

Make sure your firewall settings on windows are laxed for the Starwind ports / service.

W7 FW can be a pain, and the network location is worth looking at as well, should be home/work and not public.

Hello vazir,

First of all Win7 is not actually supported to run our software (please check the SysReqs by using the link below). And I cannot disagree with Phan7 about pain

Also, what target have you created please?
Can we see diagram with your topology?

Anatoly, I've been running free edition on w7 for some time now, both on my laptop and my ML115 G5 opteron!

I did some sloppy TS aka doing a lot of stuff with out testing

Now it's working


Edit: It was the windows FW

I added a new rule to the windows FW to accept port tcp/3260 and now it's working
