This is what I have in PV guest config (and it works fine):
disk = [ 
'script=block-iscsi,vdev=xvda1,target=portal=(IP):3260,iqn=(iqn),w' ]
... so I put the same in the HVM guest config (just substituting hda for 
xvda1).
If I use iscsiadm to map the iscsi drive locally and then I put
disk = [ 'phy:/dev/sdf,hda,w' ]
in my guest config, it works.

Sorry to ask further... how should it begin ?
I tried several variants, e.g.
disk = [ 'vdev=hda,target=file=iscsi://(IP):3260/(iqn)' ], but then
I get
libxl: error: libxl_device.c:283:libxl__device_disk_set_backend: Disk 
vdev=hda failed to stat: file=iscsi://(IP):3260/(iqn): No such file or 
directory.

Did not. Using that and the 'original'
disk = [ 'script=block-iscsi,vdev=hda,target=portal=(IP):3260,iqn=(iqn),w'],
I get
