iscsi problem

hi

i'm trying to connect esx 3.0 iscsi to StartWin 3.5.3 iscsi target

in the log it seem to connect but fail to map it the esx iscsi device ..and in the virtual center i still see in configuration -> storage adapters -> detail that the target is 0

the log :

Can both service console and the VMkernel port ping your target's portal? (try ping and vmkping to the portal address)

Is your target's iSCSI mapping correct? Have you defined there the iqn of ESX initiator correctly to allow ESX connection to your iSCSI target?
