Setting iSCSI HBA IQN via VC

I can set the IQN on my hardware iSCSI HBA QLA4052 via VirtualCenter... as well as all the ip address, send targets etc... the interface seems very flaky with updating though... anyone else seeing this. Have to close thge dialogue and re-open and it might have updated.

In addition do you know if have to reboot ESX servers after setting IQN on HBA for it to take effect? I seem to have to set it in the dialogue, reboot the ESX hosts and then restart VirtualCentre service for the update to be picked up in VC. Is this right?

Thanks for any light that can be shed on this!

Yes, in 3.0.x I have also had to reboot to change the IQN, and close and re-open to enable it.

Not sure about 3.5 yet, haven't verified if it requires a reboot.
