I am not sure that I have correctly understood your question, but I have
the following setup functional in Centos 5 for several years
= dedicated logical volumes,similar to your example
= a xen configuration as below
disk = [
'phy:/dev/VG1/biblioteca,hda1,w','phy:/dev/VG2/disk2,hdb,w','phy:/dev/hde,hdc,w','phy:/dev/hdh,hdd,w'
]
( mind hda and hdb which are LVs created during the first step)
