The period between the local devices becoming available and the iSCSI
volumes appearing will be potentially confusing for the LVM tools and
might need some special handling depending on how your distribution
manages LVM activation.
In future as LVM moves to having udev detect devices and call LVM to
have them activated this should get easier.
