iSCSI Network Port Binding Path Status Not Used vCenter 6.5

Hello

I have vCenter 6.5 with six ESXI 6.5 Hosts

Two Hosts have 4 plus network adapters installed.

I run Windows 2012 R2 and Windows 2016 Cluster Servers using iSCSI from my NAS Device which has iSCSI support al working well

I am trying to set up MPIO on the Windows server I run SQL Cluster servers.

I installed the iSCSI Software Adapter on Both Host 1 and Host 3

On Host 1 and Host 3 I created two VMKernel's  VMkernal-iSCSI-1 and VMKernal-iSCSI-2  they both have one network adapter assigned.

After creating the VMkernels I went to the storage adapters hit the green + sign and added the two VMKernels.

Selected the target tab and entered the ip address on my NAS device

On the iSCSI Software Adapter I saw 24 Targets 0 Devices and 0 Paths

on the Network Port Binding tab the Path Status in NOT USED all others look good.

I tried to do a Dynamic Discovery on the ip address 10.x.x.x:3260 I saw nothing when I do a Static Discovery I see all my targets.

This is the same on both Host 1 and Host 2

Any ideas what I might be missing here?

Thank you,

Tom
