In the process of setting up POC environment (vmware workstation on laptop), The cluster setup is done and am trying to add the iscsi targets to win7 vm created, not able to reach the iscsi subnet1 and subnet from windows 7 vm.
Is there a document for configuration, if yes - please share.
Followed the below link for setup and it went well.

You need to configure your Win client to have access to the 2 iSCSI subnets, in a WMWare workstation setup you need to add in your Win VM setup 2 interfaces and make them on the same VMNets as the corresponding PetaSAN iSCSI subnets, For example if iSCSI 1 was setup in PetaSAN VMs as VMNet2 Host-Only 10.0.2.0 network then the corresponding interface you add to your Win VM needs to be on VMNet2 + the same applies to iSCSI2. Then you need to log into your Win VM and give them static IPs on both NICs than need to be on the same subnet example 10.0.2.50 for iSCSI1 and 10.0.3.50 for iSCSI2 , you could also use DHCP if you had setp it up in VMWare Network Editor. If you do not like the iSCSI subnet ranges in PetaSAN you can change then anytime in the Web interface iSCSI Settings.
I our documentation section we have more advanced use cases you may find interesting like setting load balancing mpio and usage with hyper-v and sofs.
