You definitely have to use RAID 1. When the disk is first read in the boot process, there is no mdm available to put the pieces of the raid5 disks together. It is just reading the file system from the first available single disk. 

Later in the boot process it gets mounted at /boot/efi and just then the raid software is available.

In the past, this would crash the installer, so I'm glad to see that's fixed, but it would be nice if all disks were recognized or the existing disk layout was ignored.

OK, I think that’s worth a bug report against Anaconda! Unfortunately I don’t have a 3 disk test equipment here at the moment. 

Would be helpful to know it someone can reproduce the issue or is it specific to a special property of the hardware you are using. I suppose, the disk are used and already had some data on it. Ist there something special? E.g. had they different partitioning schemes?

Obviously you didn’t used the distributed installation media to boot the server. How did you create the boot medium?
