Cannot attach VM Kernel adapter to vmhba for iSCSI port binding

Hi Gurus, I have a strange problem.

I am trying to bind a VMkernel adapter to iSCSI storage adapter but the VMKernel adapter that I want to use is not shown in the list. Let me attach the screen shots for better understanding.

The physical adapter in question is vmnic5

I have first created a virtual switch vswitch1 and assigned it a static IP 10.0.0.41

Now, when I try to bind a vmhba with the said Kernel adapter, I am not able to see the said Kernel adapter i.e. vmnic5 in the list.

Am I missing something here?

None of the vmhba(33,34,36) can see vnic 5

Although vmnic2 works fine

Is it because vmnic5 is 10000 and vnic2 is 1000?

Any advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,

Siddhesh
