ESXi 5.1 / CX4-120 / Software iSCSI Multipathing?

[dzak64]

I have a host connected via iSCSI to a EMC CX4-120.

Port 0 of each SP is connected to subnet 10.1.66.0/24.
Port 1 of each SP is connected to subnet 10.1.67.0/24

Port 0 of the host's NIC is connected to subnet 10.1.66.0/24
Port 1 of the host's NIC is connected to subnet 10.1.67.0/24

Within vSphere (5.1), I created a new switch and added the host's NICs, both NICs being active.
I created a  VMkernel PortGroup - iSCSI1 - IP Address - 10.1.66.19 - VMNIC4 ACTIVE, VMNIC5 UNUSED
I created a  VMkernel PortGroup - iSCSI2 - IP Address - 10.1.67.19 - VMNIC4 UNUSED, VMNIC5 ACTIVE

I added both VMkernel Port Groups to the Software iSCSI Initiator.
PG iSCSI1 status is Last Active
PG iSCSI2 status is Not Used (?)

I can connect to LUNs, but I all connects are being made via subnet 10.1.66.0/24.

Is this by design or am I missing something?

CX4-120  SPA-P2 10.1.66.20  VLAN164
CX4-120  SPA-P3 10.1.67.20  VLAN165

CX4-120  SPB-P2 10.1.66.21  VLAN164
CX4-120  SPB-P3 10.1.67.21  VLAN165

HOST1 VMNIC4 VLAN164
HOST1 VMNIC5 VLAN65

vSwitch2
VMNIC4 ACTIVE
VMNIC5 ACTIVE

PG iSCSI-1 10.1.66.19
VMNIC4 ACTIVE
VMNIC5 UNUSED

PG iSCSI-2 10.1.67.19
VMNIC4 UNUSED
VMNIC5 ACTIVE

If you look at Storage Adapters and look at the properties of the LUNs, are they set to a Fixed multipathing policy? Check with your EMC documentation to be sure (I know there is a document on this), but you probably need to be using round robin.

The paths are set to Round Robin.
