You can export as many disk/LUN you want to a guest domain. But you probably don't want to share your disk/LUN between guest domains (i.e. export the same disk/LUN to several guest domains). So a particular LUN will only be exported to one guest domain.
So if you have 4 guest domains and you want each guest to have 5 virtual disks based on LUNs when you will needs 20 LUNs. alex.
