Depends on your configuration. I guess the SAN is mounted by drbd or something else. So the start of mysql depends on the successfull start of this service. Maybe also other services depend on this service and have to be colocated. Depending on the age of your installation you can check your config with the crm tool or the cibadmin tool or have a look at /etc/ha.d.
