iSCSI target to tell its own IP address during discovery?

I’m trying to evaluate StarWind’s iSCSI target as a storage solution for some video surveillance applications. The problem is that the iSCSI initiator expects the iSCSI target to include its own IP address in the response to the SendTargets=All request during discovery. As per rfc3720 this is only optional. But my initiator seems to require it.
Is there any way that I can configure the iSCSI target in a way that it tells the initiator its own IP address during discovery?
thanks

Hello, febren! Thank you for the question. Please find starwind.cfg file, by default located in C:\Program Files\StarWind Software\StarWind folder. You have to find <iScsiDiscoveryListInterfaces value="0"/> string and update 0 to 1. You have to stop StarWindService before updating starwind.cfg file, and start it again after you save the changes. Let me know how it goes.

Hello Sergey,
thanks for your quick help. This brings me a step further. The initiator is now able to read the IP address. But for some reason it still cannot read the LUNs.
I'll have to dig a bit deeper into the issue and will let you know about the result.

Did you connect to target with iSCSI Initiator? Please check the guide for Hyper-V:
