Wanna configure RAID1 in RHEL 5 !
Friends ,
I wanna configure RAID 1 within TWO HDD in RHEL-5 during installation moment . I have the following questions regarding software raid vs hardware raid : 1) What is the basic difference between hardware and software raid 2) In software raid , If I use two HDD as RAID1 , then if one HDD is failed , can I boot it from another HDD ? 3)In software RAID , Between two HDD , If One HDD is failed then if I remove bad HDD and add a spare HDD then is it automatically synchronized with FIRST HDD ? 4) In software raid is it possible to keep '/boot' partition in two HDD (I use 2 HDD as RAID1) as separate partition ? 5) Finally is there any documnets or sites where I get software raid configuration during INSTALLATION moment in using GRAPHICAL mode , plz give me the address. Ths in advance .. ... |

A hardware RAID implementation usually takes the form of a specialized disk controller card. The card performs all RAID-related functions and directly controls the individual drives in the arrays attached directly to it. With the proper driver, the arrays managed by a hardware RAID card appear to the host operating system just as if they were regular disk drives. Most RAID controller cards work with SCSI drives, although there are some IDE-based RAID controllers as well. Software RAID Software RAID is simply RAID implemented as kernel- or driver-level software for a particular operating system. As such, it provides more flexibility in terms of hardware support — as long as the hardware is supported by the operating system, RAID arrays can be configured and deployed Quote:

I never tried any graphical tool, nor at the time of installation. Hope this helps. |
