Hi!
I have a domU with one dom0. The root filesystem of dom0 is located on LVM at domU. This blockdevice is presented to dom0 as /dev/sda. So far everything is working fine.

Now I'd like to add extra storage to dom0 using an iSCSI-LUN from our NAS. I installed open-iscsi on the dom0, but open-iscsi assigns the discoverd LUN also to /dev/sda.

I'm not sure what's going wrong here. Should I add something to the config-file of dom0 to create a 'dummy' blockdevice that could later be assigned to the iSCSI-LUN? Or is it recommended to do the iscsi-stuff on domU and assign the physical disk to dom0 in the configfile?
