Could not create NetworkPortal in configFS issue resolved
I see that there is an error while creating iscsi portal ” Could not create NetworkPortal in configFS ” in Red hat enterprise Linux 7. I have installed targetcli, started services targetcli and created block storage, LUN, iscsi internet name.
After creating all this i was trying to create an portal but it through an error ” could not create NetworkPortal in configFS “
i find no clue after few minutes i observe that there is an default portal has been created with 0.0.0.0:3260, i thought that was not created by me and i was trying to delete default port with 0.0.0.0:3260. See the Guide to create iscsi server

I also faced this issue
Delete 0.0.0.0 3260 I also it’s work
But I am unable to get clue why this default 0.0.0.0 3260 created automatically,from which parameter or Conf file it’s read default??
you can print like this
portals/ create ip_address=192.168.146.141 ip_port=3260
when you got the error “Could not create NetworkPortal in configFS ” delete the default one using
/iscsi/iqn.20…/tpg1/portals> delete ip_address=0.0.0.0 ip_port=3260
and then you can create the new as :
/iscsi/iqn.20…:target1/tpg1> portals/ create ip_address=192.168.146.141 ip_port=3260
Using default IP port 3260
Created network portal 192.168.146.141:3260.
/iscsi/iqn.20…:target1/tpg1> ls
o- tpg1 ……………………………………………………………………………………….. [no-gen-acls, no-auth]
o- acls …………………………………………………………………………………………………. [ACLs: 1]
| o- iqn.2017-03.com.example:server2 …………………………………………………………………. [Mapped LUNs: 0]
o- luns …………………………………………………………………………………………………. [LUNs: 0]
o- portals ……………………………………………………………………………………………. [Portals: 1]
o- 192.168.146.141:3260 ……………………………………………………………………………………… [OK]
🙂 Good LUCK
