iscsi drive refuses to mount

I have a iscsi drive that tells me that the extents are missing and cannot be remounted, esxi see's the drive in vclient but when I try and add as storage  i receive the following errors

When I try resignature it I get this

Resignature unresolved VMFS volume
192.168.1.180
Error during the configuration of the host: Unable to resignature this VMFS3 volume due to some extents missing

When I try and keep the signature it then pops up a box with the following message

Cannot change the host configuration

Is this a single LUN datastore, or was the datastore made up of LUN extents?

If it's a single LUN, then you may have problems on the iSCSI side.  Have you verified you're not having hardware problems on the iSCSI target with respect to disk?

I have another LUN that attaches to the same SAN on the same VMWare box and that has no issues so I don't believe that there is the issue.

Is that 2nd LUN using the same underlying hard disk?

Yes it is, the disk has numerous other hosts connecting to the same disk too
