Do the security profiles on the esx servers need to be set to allow iscsi?

Also what would be the best virtual networking if both esx servers only have to physical NICs

They sometimes do, but that is an ESX bug, iSCSI should be allowed by default.

I think it was ESX 3.5 that started requiring allowing iSCSI in the security profile, then Update 1 went back to that being default.

Either way if the security profile does not have it allowed you should allow it.

For just 2 nics I'd do one V switch with both nics, one flat network or a VLAN for iSCSI if you know how.

Basically nic redundancy trumps SAN separation.
