Since you can see the LUN, the next step is to create a datastore on it using the "Add Storage" wizard, i.e. format it with VMware's VMFS filesystem.

Caution: Make sure that no other operating system (e.g. a Windows PC) has access to this LUN to avoid data corruption!

Have you configured the iSCSI Port Binding?

If the answer is yes, you should able to see the device, and then you just have to create a new VMFS datastore.
