Hi Gentoo-users, |
2 |
|
3 |
I'm going to build a small server with Xen-hypervisor with |
4 |
Gentoo as dom0 (if it is possible). Comming from ESXi-world, |
5 |
there is no choice (only true hw-raid is supported). |
6 |
|
7 |
But what about Linux? What's preffered way to go? Software-raid |
8 |
(mdadm), or true hardware raid-controller? I have a few spares |
9 |
(LSI-9271), these worked quite well with ESXi but I'm not sure |
10 |
they are supported by Linux at all, and if there is actually |
11 |
some way of monitoring controller-health... |
12 |
|
13 |
Concerning sw-raid, I have used it for quite some time, but |
14 |
never with Xen (is it actually possible?). Moreover, grub-config |
15 |
for Xen itself is somehow more complicated and sw-raid could add |
16 |
extra complexity... |
17 |
|
18 |
So the question is simple. For Xen-server with Gentoo as dom0, |
19 |
what do you recommend: sofware- or hardware-raid? |
20 |
|
21 |
Any other general tips concerning Xen (particularly with Gentoo |
22 |
as dom0)? |
