So you wanna do software RAID within VM? Your storage solution should provide for enough redundancy.

Anyway, have a look at this thread

Create two volume/LUN on the storage, and inside the VM login on both.

You will see two new "local" disk.

Why would you want to do software raid when you have an iSCSI array to your disposal?
