Unable to mount iSCSI shared Datastore on VMware ESXi

  • 772

I had an iSCSI Datastore mounted and now am unable to remount it. There are 2 shares one of which is new and I want to copy the data from the old to the new. I have created a new datastore with the new shared however the original old one does not mount. Its only available to have a new datastore created against it. How can I force it to mount ?

Here is a look in to what I see:
