ERROR DATA Command sent to RAID controller module in slot: 0

Return code: Error 2 - The operation cannot complete because either (1) the current state of a component does not allow the operation to be completed, (2) the operation has been disabled in NVSRAM (example, you are modifying media scan parameters when that option (offset 0x31, bit 5) is disabled), or (3) there is a problem with the storage array. Please check your storage array and its various components for possible problems and then retry the operation.

There is one RAID controller installed. ISCSI port 0 is configured and is in use. The out of band management NIC is configured and in use. I am receiving the error above when trying to configure iSCSI port 1 on this RAID controller.
I have inherited this DELL MD3000i being used to provide an iSCSI volume to the local file server. Unfortunately the file server is directly connected using a crossover cable instead of going through the local gigabit switch. I wish to use part of the array to provide iSCSI volumes to two other nodes but I need to have both NICs enabled for throughput.
I get this error if a cable is connected to iSCSI NIC 1 or not.
This error happens if the file serevr is shut down and no iSCSI connections are active as well.
Am I missing something here?
EDIT: someone on another fourm mentioned the MD3000i having to be physically rebooted to catch some network changes (subnet change, new network, etc). I have tried this with no luck.
