Connecting to EqualLogic with Starwind Starport Initiator, login trouble?

Question

We have a working iSCSI SAN, an Equallogic, which runs fine with the Microsoft iSCSI initiator.

With the Starport Initiator, we can't even connect. There's no login needed, neither local nor LDAP.

Any ideas?

The log is swamped with these:

6/13 17:51:37.842 CMainFrame::PoolingServiceEvents: Event checking failed, status == 2

Here's the relevant bits of the log:

Stupid question, but have you asked either Dell or Starwind what they make of the event logs? — Brent Pabst, Sep 18 '12 at 18:41
Dell can't help because nothing shows in the EqualLogic logs, and Starwind insists it's a handshake problem on the Dell side... — DutchUncle, Sep 20 '12 at 19:29
I suspect this is the key to the Initiator's problem: "Creation of the iSCSI device failed with all the addresses supplied by the server." — DutchUncle, Sep 20 '12 at 19:35

Is your initiator with name IQN iqn.2003-06.com.starwindsoftware.starport:optiplex960 actually mapped/zoned to access the LUNs at target IQN iqn.2001-05.com.equallogic:8-cb2b76-315e1f15a-6d0002638444fd5f-spim1-1 on that target?

The Starwind IQN is generated by the Starwind Initiator itself. Can I check/force it anywhere? – DutchUncle Sep 20 '12 at 19:33

Sure, your Equallogic box should have a mapping/zoning configuration setup. – pfo Sep 24 '12 at 14:02

Turns out we DO have some kind of login/password set in the eQuallogic setup... but only the Starwind client seems to pickup on it...
