Does Raid Hardware Work for XenServer ?

Asked By rogermatt 10 points N/A Posted on - 07/28/2011

 

Hi,

For those who have a dedicated server with two hdd, the idea is to put them in a raid via software, but if i use it with XenServer, there is a problem. 
Does XenServer support it?
Because I have heard that only hardware can be used…

 

Regards,

Roger matt

Does Raid Hardware Work for XenServer ?

XenServer right now makes a point not to back product RAID. It might be plausible to arrange RAID on supplemental nearby circles utilizing product RAID. Observe the accompanying aritcle. https://discussions.citrix.com/topic/150021-raid-1-for-xen-server/ The best fix could be to instate an equipment controller which than must be arranged around RAID. Since you're looking to do a quite brisk and basic RAID, you quite should regard a modest RAID-1 controller. Gave you're just heading off to be doing RAID-1, you require not spend a mess of cash on one. Utilizing a upheld RAID controller is doubtlessly heading off to spare you the pain of introducing mdraid (which I could join is absolutely reliable and works excessively well), but XenServer makes a point not to uphold this and all things considered, is much of a workaround which puts your information at danger if you're not overly sure with Linux yet.
