Added an HBA & LUN to just one node of a cluster; HBA sees LUN, but is LUN not available for a new VMFS Datastore

We've got two ESXi V4 servers in a HA/DRS cluster, with each of them having one FC-HBA and access to the same single Datastore.  The cluster is managed by vCenter 5.5.0

 

I've added a second FC HBA to just one of these servers, and after reboot the HBA sees the LUN just fine.  But when I go to add new storage, there's none available.

I'm trying this via:   vCenter -> select host -> configuration -> storage -> Add Storage -> StorageType=Disk/Lun

 

My plan was to have a VM on that one server, which would access the new datastore for a backup repository.   I was planning on having the VM locked to that server, and didn't expect any HA migrations etc.

 

Now I'm getting the feeling that this storage asymmetry in a cluster isn't supported.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks....Lyle
