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)? |
| 23 |
