In my case, I need the vblade server to make disk images available on more than one ethernet interface. The docs imply that the ethernet device given must be like 'eth0'.
I've just looked up what your vblades are for - AoE, right? YOu've probably got a reason for needing AoE, so this might not help you much, apologies in advance, but with iSCSI you'd only have one target-daemon.
I use KIWI to make diskless versions of openSUSE. In our system, these run in diskless computers that boot via PXE. Having booted, they need a root file system. In fact, all diskless systems share the same root file on the boot server, which is provided via vblade. They do not modify this root image. All changes are in RAM on the diskless machine, When they reboot all is fresh.
We use these systems to do things like manage special hardware (VME-bus access, JPEG2000 hardware compression cards, etc.). It is really great not having to install an operating system on these slave systems. Add the proper entry to dhcpd.conf and you have a new data collection computer.
I recognise the setup, I have a fairly similar one, but for a number of storage servers. I serve the root filesystem via NFS though.
