Iscsi luns getting added to multiple hosts

i have 2 esxi6.7 hosts running on a VMware workstation pro and a third running on a lapto. I added a iscsi kernal port to all 3 hosts via a distributed switch. I mapped a iscsi target which has 2 luns to one host via a software adapter, but the luns show on all 3 hosts. Is this working as designed? What if I want to map one lun to host1 and second lun to host2, how do I do that?

thanks

You need to use the ACLs to only permit the IQNs to your targets that you wish.

That depends on what you're using as the storage system for these (which you never said).
