One thing to make sure you have straight is Target vs. Initiator [2], for me it originally felt like the names were backwards. I would expect the physical RAID machine to be the Target. Was that your expectation too, as it is a little unclear from the para above?

It might have helped if you had pointed at which upstream docs... some are better than others on the same subject.
When I did a test of it, I found starting with the Target creation doc [1] and following with the Initiator doc[3] (each on different RH/CentOS boxes) helped me to figure it out. BTW while in [1] they use /dev/vdb it works as well with real /dev/sd* or Logical Volumes, I don't recall _trying_ with PVs.
