4.5. Configuring Software RAID
Users can configure Software RAID during the graphical installation process (Disk Druid), the text-based installation process, or during a kickstart installation.This chapter covers Software RAID configuration during the installation process using the Disk Druid application.
Apply software RAID partitions to the physical hard drives.
To add a boot partition (/boot/) to a RAID partition, ensure it is on a RAID1 partiton.
Creating RAID devices from the software RAID partitions.
Optional: Configuring LVM from the RAID devices.
Creating file systems from the RAID devices.
Although this procedure covers installating with a GUI application, system administrators can do the same with text-based installation.
Configuration of software RAID must be done manually in Disk Druid during the installation process.
These examples use two 9.1 GB SCSI drives (/dev/sda and /dev/sdb) to illustrate the creation of simple RAID1 configurations. They detail how to create a simple RAID 1 configuration by implementing multiple RAID devices.
On the Disk Partitioning Setup screen, select Manually partition with Disk Druid.
