Presumably this is an issue for you at boot-time?
I suggest mounting everything up and then re-building your
initramfs -- it's pretty good at enabling the current configuration,
and in particular, if you didn't have any crypto disks last time
you built it, it may not have the crypto modules and/or /etc/crypttab
may be set incorrectly.
That's mostly guesswork though.
One other possible catch is that you may want LUKS to refer to the
device by UUID, if it doesn't already do so -- the device name can
change from one iscsiadm log-in to the next, just as with USB and
"real" SATA drives.
