Hi Chris iSER will work seamlessly as long as you run it on the hosts, it just requires a compatible iSER target. TGTD should work, although the iser target I tested with was a zfs appliance. I've never tested a Linux iSER target solution. One commercially supported solution you can try out is Mellanox's VSA, which presents block storage over iSER. You can try the configuration with open-nebula lvm drivers. I think those drivers have gotten a lot more robust in the last few weeks as well.
