This should be noop. You'd want something like this, I think:

colocation co-raid inf: md_raid ( iscsi_1 iscsi_2 iscsi_3 )

No, that's currently not possible to express. I think that you
should take the iSCSI resources out of the cluster and let them
start on boot _before_ the cluster manager. If there are not
enough disks, then the md_raid resource is going to fail.
