new datastore cluster option grey out in vsphere5

I have one PC with intel i3 64 bit processor and intel VT enable in BIOS. On top of this i have installed windows 7 64 bit ultimate and then installed Vmware workstation 8 and then setup vsphere5 datacenter and cluster.

In cluster, i have used iscsi as a datastore for 2 no of ESXi5 host.

Now when i tried to create datastore cluster, the option is greyout in vcenter5.

Please let me know how do i activate new datastore cluster option in vcenter5, i am using evaluation version so license is there for SDRS.

Please help on this.

have you created a Host cluster yet?  When you create an HA/DRS cluster, you shuold then be able to create a new datastore cluster
