Re: [Xen-users] Xen and iSCSI - options and questions

Why not just side-step all of this and do your iSCSI initiating in dom0,
then LVM the LUN and boot the domU off of a phy: allocation?  I've seen
several posts lately regarding the complexities of iSCSI, booting
domU's, etc., and I'm wondering why no one is just treated like normal
SAN or SCSI LUNs.
Migration?

Using multipath (and sync'ing /etc/multipath.conf), I migrate SAN LUNs
around between hosts in this manner so I think the only difference here
would be allowing multiple logins on the target.

You cannot safely assume nobody is writing to that iSCSI LUN, therefore for example block-iscsi logins in and out for you between host upon create/shutdown/migration.
