These are the pages i got most info from.

What i am currently trying are:

1. 2 boxes, with a master-master drbd block device replication,
2. evms cluster aware volume manager
3. iSCSI targets on both hosts

4. multipath iscsi setup on the xen servers (seperate boxes).

one and two are working, three does work, but needs 'double configuration'
(configuration on both hosts), which i don't like.
