Unable to connect, displaying RDMA, but wanting to use TCP, how to configure Starwind nvme of initator

Please answer these questions.
Does the discovery work?
Is the target set up correctly, and does it allow communication over NVMe-oF?
Is MTU set up correctly?
Does your target and initiator have the latest drivers and firmware installed?
Please make also sure to type the command right.
Do you use a free or trial key?

remember it was at the end of 2024, followed by March 2025. How longer until the beta can be released，probably

We are working on improving it. I am also waiting for it to be released the same way as you do.
The ETA I provided was provided to me by the product management and it changes as we are trying to make the product better and more stable. The ETA I have now is the beginning/middle of summer.
Please keep an eye on the release notes.
