EMC VNX5200 vmware new software iscsi adapter

Moving a host from a hardware iscsi adapter to software adapters and now the VNX will not show the LUNS of the Storage group it was previously associated with but instead showed the ~management storage group.

 

The new initiators are registered but we need to add the initiators to the storage group. Go into the storage group, click on the hosts tab and then click on the Advanced button. The advanced button will be visible once you go into engineering mode (ctrl+shift+f12). (Default password I found was messner). On the host tab there is an advanced button hit that and make sure that all the initiators are checked for the host in question.  After you check them do a rescan on the esxi host and make sure both HBA’s can now see the same amount of targets.
