We're working on setting up a test box for an eventual iSCSI SAN. (I've dug through the archives for the last 6 months, but don't see a good thread that discusses our situation.) Both technologies (Xen, iSCSI) are new to us, so there's going to be a bit of a learning curve.

Do you need routable disk access?

If not, you should seriously consider AoE instead of iSCSI.

The drivers are in the Linux kernel, and their aoe-tools contain vblade
so you can build your own AoE targets if you choose not to buy their hardware.
