No storage systems found with FCP node name

Hey -

I'm trying to set up virtual storage console for VM backups, but when I execute a job manually I get the error below. The ESX host itself can see the LUN just fine. I'm on ESXi 5.1 with VSC 4.2.1. I have not set up any zoning between my vCenter and the LUN itself, because I got the impression the VSC does its operations through the ESXi host, which does have direct access to the LUN and proper zoning. Is that correct? Any additional thoughts?

have you added the correct storage system to vsc?
