iSCSI target configuration and data stores in VMware 5.5U1

I am working inside of my home lab where I have setup a CentOS 6.5 box to serve as an iSCSI target. The current configuration shows:

[root@localhost ~]# tgtadm --lld iscsi --op show --mode target

Target 1: iqn.2012-10.net.cpd:san.target01

    System information:

        Driver: iscsi

        State: ready

    I_T nexus information:

    LUN information:

        LUN: 0

            Type: controller

            SCSI ID: IET     00010000

            SCSI SN: beaf10

            Size: 0 MB, Block size: 1

            Online: Yes

            Removable media: No

            Prevent removal: No

            Readonly: No

            Backing store type: null

            Backing store path: None

            Backing store flags:

        LUN: 1

            Type: disk

            SCSI ID: IET     00010001

            SCSI SN: beaf11

            Backing store flags:

    Account information:

    ACL information:

        192.168.1.201

 

Initially, I had only a single device defined inside iqn.2012-10.net.cpd:san.target01 and I was able to create a datastore on the ESXi hosts that I have running in my lab. I then added a second disk (LUN 1 above), however I still only show the ability to have the original datastore. When I look at the 'Storage Adapters' on either host, the details the iSCSI software adapter show 1 connected target, 2 devices and 2 paths. Shouldn't I be able to mount LUN 1 as a second datastore within the host?

 

I don't use iSCSI anywhere in production and am only messing with it so that I can familiarize myself with the iSCSI portion for the VCP5-DCV test. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
