Getting this message when trying to mount restore points. Turned off firewall, selinux - nothing seems to be using the port.

We are unable to communicate via the port 3260 on this machine since it is being used by ISCSI target server or any other application. Please unblock the port or use another machine where the port is open for communicatoin

    Issue: We are unable to communicate via the port 3260 on this machine since it is being used by ISCSI target server or any other application. Please unblock the port or use another machine where the port is open for communication.

    Solution: Go into system delete all of the targetcli/iscsi entries i had made, save config.

    targetcli /iscsi delete targetname targetcli save

    targetcli ls

    located some of the old python scripts- ran them with the 'clean' option. rebooted. explicitly stopped and started the the service 'systemctl stop target.service' & 'systemctl start target.service'. Confirmed the deletion was still there 'targetcli ls'

    Ran a download script and it magically worked.

    Random guess - the server was holding on to an older recovery and the steps above cleared something.

    Hello,

    I appreciate the prompt responses and the detailed explanations. None of it seems to help. I actually had to go into system delete all of the targetcli/iscsi entries i had made, save config.

    targetcli /iscsi delete targetname
    targetcli save

    targetcli ls

    located some of the old python scripts i had - ran them with the 'clean' option. rebooted. explicitly stopped and started the the service 'systemctl stop target.service' & 'systemctl start target.service'. Confirmed the deletion was still there 'targetcli ls'
