I have in FreeNAS and ESXi host each a Intel X520-DA dual port. I followed the steps outlined in this thread to try and configure the iSCSI but I am not getting very far. I did complete all the steps for FreeNAS. On ESXi end, I created the virtual storage adapter, but it's not letting me add the 10GbE NICs. This is the message I'm getting.
Not sure if I am doing it right.
The selected physical network adapter is not associated with VMkernel with compliant teaming and failover policy. VMkernel network adapter must have exactly one active uplink and no standby uplinks to be eligible for binding to the iSCSI HBA.
