ISCSI does not work in 1.6

[houms]

Good Day all,
I setup a openfiler box. Setup iscsi on the openfiler box. I have tested that I can connect to the target from other platforms, but when I try to do it from web ui in proxmox it throws up

"Error: command '/usr/bin/iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 192.168.25.104' failed with exit code 255 "

This is on a fresh proxmox 1.6 install. Can anyone help get this working? It is a shame this is not working out of the box and there is no real doumentation about how to troubleshoot. Scouring the forums I have confirmed that open-iscsi is installed and seems to be running. Not sure what I am missing?

Any help would be appreciated.

should work out of the box. we use several openfiler´s in our test lab.

can you access the iSCSI target from other servers without any authentication? any network issues?

Thanks for your reply Tom,
Yes I have tested it from xen server and from a windows 7 machine. Both can access the iscsi target without any auth.
Also I can ping the openfiler box from all over the network including the proxmox box, but it still cannot access the iscsi target. Def. a proxmox problem.

From proxmox commandline i get

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I just changed the IP address on all three of the NICS on the openfiler box, and what do you know it just works...... thanks again TOM for your help.
