You're not giving enough details.
- Do you use PV or HVM domU?
- what backend you use for domU's disk? file: ? tap:aio:? phy:?

I'm guessing you probably use tap:aio. Try using phy: (i.e. using disk
/ partition / LVM as domU backend storage)

If I understand your question correctly, the answer is yes. Dom0
should handle all redundancy (be it hardware or software raid). You
don't need raid on domU if it's already done on dom0.
