binding an ISCSI SAN to a VM

I'm stuck. \ can't seem to get my ISCSI to bind. It sees it but it will not bind.. Here's some screen shots.. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong... Also I'm not sure of which network card belongs to which IP and which to make active and which to make standby

I have everything connected correctly! UGH. I sees the storage look and yet it's not there. that's exactly what I followed...

A freaken check box! that was the problem. ON the ESXI server I didn't have one of the fibre nic checked. So now it sees the bindings but it's taking a very long time to RSCAN. I'm not sure if this is a good thing.

Have you presented the LUNs ?

Yes and it see's all the luns however, when I try to connect it, it's crashing/freezing the server? I'm really at a loss... OK I have it back up and it's scanning again. I have 4 luns it only sees 2 right now. not sure what it's going to do. It once again sees the luns however it's frozen.

I finally got it after 8 hours of work! I had to add it manually and create a new lun with a single ISCSI connector.

It was the same issue my tech has multi fibre and it needed single.
