OK, great - thanks! So, it sounds like on XenServer, you have to perform some manual activity for it to see the new size of the iSCSI target (and there is probably a similar requirement with ESX), but CloudStack will notice the size difference automatically (once the storage repository or datastore has been manually re-configured).
