        I don't know. I've just raised the question to know about your
experiences. I think that configuring it in the domU is easier and
cleaner, but, for example, if you have more than one domU (in the same
dom0) needing iSCSI resources (in our case, all iSCS disks are served by
the same server) configuring it in the dom0 centralized the
configuration.
