Thread-topic: [Xen-users] Best way to use iSCSI in domU
Hi,

That depends on your scenario. If you've got more than one dom0(Xen-Servers), 
exspecially for redundancy, then it's not a good idea to make dom0 the 
iscsi-host.

Of course, you can connect to any iscsi-target directly from the domUs, as you 
can connect the dom0 vias iscsi and share the ressource via NFS p.e. then.

Me personally, i would connect it directly to the domUs, as this is 
straightforward.

Why are you thinking about implementing another "hop" via dom0? What is the 
advantage you asume in this case?

Cheers Florian
