Hi Ram,
1. ninja requirement can be ignored on RHEL 7.x. You can run: 
"./install.pl --all --without-depcheck" or use newer OFED (starting 
OFED-4.8-20170130-0444) which does not require ninja on RHEL.
2. iSER was backported and it is a part of compat-rdma RPM:
# rpm -ql compat-rdma | grep ib_iser
/lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/updates/drivers/infiniband/ulp/iser/ib_iser.ko

Regards,
Vladimir
