Software is fine.
Just read the PDF link and do the things they say. Also on your switches make an LACP Trunk to bundle NICS.
We have 2x Netgeat GS724TS stackable switches.
Each ESX hosts has 4 nics dedicated for iSCSI. Traffic is over these links because the iSCSI initiators and the iSCSI SAN (Readynas) are in a different SUBNET then the VM's

Also we are on Radiator 4.2.16!!
