Would you recommend a particular distribution to implement a persistent iscsi server compatible with VDI ?

Yes. Solaris 10 does not have COMSTAR (the new iSCSI target software) and NexentaStor 3 does not have the legacy iscsi target. A similar transition occurs when moving from NexentaStor 2 to NexentaStor 3.
