Small Network VMWare Setup with ISCSI SAN

I am in the process of setting up my first VMWare Datacenter with VMWare Vcenter.  I need a little help or a diagram on how to connect all of my components physically.

We have two hypervisor hosts, one with 4 NICs and one with 6 NICs.  I have a Dell 3200i SAN with dual controllers and two Dell PowerConnect 5448 switches.  

I am confused on how to setup the hosts NICs in VSphere and how to connect the devices to which host and if I need to seperate the network traffic from the ISCSI traffic by using one switch for each.

I am sure the VMWare gurus out their can explain this pretty easily for a novice user.

Thank You
