All,
I'm new to VSS6, but not to VMware. I have created a volume and a target for that volume. I have limited the target to the IP addresses (2 per host) coming from my hosts, however, the hosts will not see the new storage. Actually, i think it times out trying to connect to it. I'm assuming I'm missing something in the configuration, and have performed searching for a basic vSphere connection, but have not had any success.
Any assistance is appreciated.

After creating the target in DSS, did you activate the LUN ?
And how would I go about doing that? I don't see an option for that. I think during the target creation, I added the LUN to it.
Did you click the 'plus' sign:

Yes, the volume was added to the target during the target creation. Should I perform the Maintenance/Connection reset as advised? If I do this, will it reset all iSCSI connections? I have a Windows machine connected successfully to another Volume.
Yes it will reset all the iSCSI connections.
Is the VMware in a HA setup?
HA is not enabled on these two hosts.
Just so that I understand your scenario better are you using 2 initiators connecting to the same Targert/LUN?
Yes, 2 initiators per host, and 2 hosts.
In order to connect to the same target with multiple initiators at the same time, a cluster filesystem has to be used. See link below for more info:

VMFS-3 will be riding on top of this, so I'm good with that. I have created the volume with File I/O, and have got the hosts connected to it. The problem was that I had the old (failed) system configured to the hosts and it was timing out before it could scan the VSS system. Thanks for your assistance!
