[SOLVED] Can't change default iSCSI port from 3260
Posted: Thu Jul 18, 2019 8:59 am
Hi Everyone,
I think I am missing something in the process to change the iscsi port from the default 3260 (we have a netapp iscsi SAN also in use on our hyper-v hosts)
I have followed the guide here: https://knowledgebase.starwindsoftware. ... ort-value/ and also searched on the forum and looked through some similar posts but the very simple and straight forward process does not work for me: when I restart the starwind service the port is changed back to 3260 (both in the gui/network interfaces and in the starwind.cfg). Trying to change the port for a NIC through the gui is not possible, it's greyed out - why is this?
I also tried stopping all of the starwind services and I checked that the iSCSI port change was saved in the starwind.cfg file before re-starting the services. Port goes back to 3260. As I have a separate NIC dedicated to Starwind i think the change of port is only needed for the loopback IP 127.0.0.1 - is that correct? Or do I not need to worry about it? But it seems (on just one node, which is strange) when I try to connect to a local iSCSI target (with the target portal IP of 127.0.0.1:3260) i get a "Connection Failed" error message.
I must be missing something! Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas?
Thanks very much - any ideas appreciated
