If ur interested i could provide a link to my wiki, which describes such
a setup

nope - works like a charm

Im running 2 iSCSI-Linux-Targets with a bunch of XEN-Boxes...

No need for pairing. Just use hb2 with crm and udev for static
device-names...

NOT required, but im testing another kind of such a setup. My receipt is
to run XEN-Boxes with glusterfs as filebases-Diskbackend...
http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFS_and_Xen
first tests were impressive and performance was higher than iscsi, since
im running ~60VMs over 10GBit-Nics, where the iscsi-targets were the
bottleneck :-(
