MD3200i and ESXi 4.1 iSCSI Problem

I have a Dell PowerVault MD3200i and a PE R610 with a Broadcom 5709 NIC. I have configured what I believe to be correct the network adapters. The problem is, during peak read/write operations, my datastore looses connection, then restores. All connections are on separate VLANs. What am I doing wrong?
