VMware + Dell Storage issue
Dear people,
I hope you are doing well. I am implementing for first time VMware and Dell Storage. Actually I dont have experience with them.
Devices:
2x Dell R730 server with VMware images on SD cards
2x Dell N1548 switches
1x Dell EMC SCv2000
What did I do?
- connected servers and storage over switches
- configured NICs and iSCSI
- Created Fault domains 1 and 2
Fault Domain 1 and 2 are reachable. But when I click on Next I got error: Unable to retrieve data from VMWare. Please try again later.
If some have procedure how to do it, please send me.
thank you

Did you configure Chap?
Also is all VLANS tagged for storage and withing iSCSI you listed the storage IP and connected the two ISCSI interfaces.

No, I didn't. Do I need it?
I tried this:
1. Configured network settings on VMware servers. I can access them over web browser without problems
2. Connected servers and Dell storage to switches using iSCI ports. We are using Fault Domain 1 and Fault Domain 2
3. Configured all NICS. In the beginning Fault Domain 1 and Fault Domain 2 werent reachable. At the end I create VMkernel i Dell Storage can reach them, but can not retrieve data from VMware servers.
Please check images below.

I created new Volume and added two servers over iqn on Dell EMC.
Installed one virtual machine and it is working good, pinging other hosts in LAN.
But when I tried to add VMware servers I got error, again.
How is it possible? Cant add servers but I installed virtual machine on Vmware and stored on Dell EMC.
