server running Microsoft iSCSI Software Target has IP addresses that are not used to communicate with the Initiator. The Initiator attempts to connect to each configured IP address and waits up to 100 seconds for a response. This issue can also be caused by automatic private IP address assignments (169.x.x.x). To prevent this issue, use static IP addresses where DHCP is unavailable. The following options provide a workaround for this issue: - Specify the source and target portal by IP address. - Use only IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses: do not mix the types of address. - Disable network cards that are not connected to a network. • Errors in Event Viewer-You may encounter errors in the Event Viewer when you attempt to uninstall Microsoft iSCSI Software Target 3.2 and reinstall it again. As a workaround, stop the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target service before uninstalling the software. If the software has already been uninstalled, restart the computer before reinstalling Microsoft iSCSI Software Target. • Additional Firewall rules for iSCSI Initiators-You may need to enable additional rules to connect an iSCSI Initiator to Microsoft iSCSI Software Target on Windows Storage Server 2008. The following Windows Firewall rules are required: - Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-In) [TCP/All ports] - Windows Management Instrumentation (DCOM-In) [TCP/Port 135] - Windows Management Instrumentation (ASync-In) [TCP/All ports] - Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI-Out) [TCP/All ports] - Remote Volume Management (RPC-EPMAP) [TCP/RPC Endpoint Mapper] - Remote Volume Management - Virtual Disk Service Loader (RPC) [TCP/Dynamic RPC] - Remote Volume Management - Virtual Disk Service (RPC) [TCP/Dynamic RPC] Appendix 53
