[CentOS-virt] Basic shared storage + KVM

I am open to any suggestion. I am not really an expert of iscsi, so I 
don't know what is the best way to implement a solution where a small 
group of hv support live migration with a shared storage. This way 
looked rather straightforward and for some level, documented on official 
redhat manuals.
The problem is that there is no mention about this LVM problem :(
Initially I tried configuring the raw iscsi device ad storage pool but 
virt-manager reported it was 100% occupied even if that was not true 
(indeed 0% was occupied).
