iSCSI Storage Not Showing in VCenter(LeftHand VSA)

Here is my issue. Right now i have a Dell 2950 with 6TB of disk space. I have one disk set aside for the ESX and also the LeftHand VSA VM. The other 5 TB I am using as a combined storage through the LeftHand Storage. I have everything on the same subnet right now. I am able to ping and vmkping the datastore i have setup on the iSCSI network. When i go to do a scan of the iSCSI the datastore is not showing up. I look at the logs within ESX and i am seeing a connection being made to the iSCSI ip address i have set up for the datastore. But it still will not show up within VCenter. I have done multiple disable/reenable/restarts of the iSCSI and server. And still to no avail nothing is showing up. Any help or insight into this matter would be greatly appreciated.

That's too large a volume to be given/allocated through ESX. It has to be broken up to a max of 2 TB chunks, before it can be added in as a datastore on ESX side.
