Binding 2 ports on an independent iSCSI HBA to get 1 iSCSI iqn

[un1xm3n]

Unable to find an option to bind 2 Independent Hardware iSCSI Adapters.  
 In order to present iSCSI LUN's to the hosts, we need to provide 1 iSCSI iqn per host and we have Dual iSCSI hba,
 giving us 2 iSCSI iqn.

I do not understand.

You already have 2 diffent IQN.

Use them to mask the storage LUN.

Andre,

We use lefthand iscsi SAN and there can only be 1 iqn unique identifier associated with each host.   Is there to bind both to a "virtual iqn"

Same way you would create an " iSCSI software adapter" and then use that iqn to bind to the host.  Then in networking create a virtual swich and assign it a ip address to communicate to the 2 network cards for failover?

To make a long story short.  There is no way to bind hardware HBA's ports (dual port iSCSI HBA) through vmware to have a single iqn unique identifier.  The only way to allow redundancy  is to combine each individual HBA port as an cluster on the SAN and loadbalance them through the Storage backend.  Furthermore, independant HBA's do not support Jumbo Frames configuration through vmware page 42 of iSCSI SAN configuration guide.
