the first think i'd do is move all the volume management from DomU to Dom0.

IOW: the iSCSI initiator and RAID (i guess it's RAID1) should be on
Dom0, and the DomU configs should refer the resultant blockdevices.

all the administration would be done on Dom0, since the DomUs would
simply see a 'normal' blockdevice.

you'll also see some performance advantage, maybe quite significant.
