I'm not sure what's needed in the way of management, but I assumed that
RAID in iSCSI would either come from the file that is shared as a device
by iSCSI is on an array, or you could mount several drives by iSCSI and
raid them together.  But, I haven't actually looked at what's available,
this is just what I thought what I heard meant.  This isn't really my area.
