XenServer/XenEnterprise does not currently support LACP or any other aggregation protocols.

I have a dell 1950 server installed with xenserver 4.1. All the virtual machines reside on a SAN so there would be quite a traffic between SAN and server (with 5 virtual machines). I am assuming I would need more than 1GB, please correct if I am wrong.

IFEnslave package is installed on every xenserver. Mode 6 is the only office mode supported, but you can easily chage it to Mode 4 (lcap).
On 5.6 edit the mode in /etc/modprobe.d/bonding . You would just put 4 as the mode.
