XenServer install on SuperMicro: software RAID question

MD supports boot RAID. This isn't Windows
Is this the preferred method vs XS booting off SATA DOM, USB, HDD etc.?

SATA DOM is probably the way to go. Built just for this.

How about redundancy for the SATA DOM?
I remember there was a previous thread about a USB stick, but that involved physically removing the stick & making a copy.
Whatever happened to having a "live" 2nd copy? -

Whatever happened to having a "live" 2nd copy?Assuming the system has ports and space for 2 DOM, then you just RAID them with MD as Scott mentioned earlier.

SuperMicro recommends no redundancy.

Yup, if there are two they will handle software RAID just like any other hard drive.

Whatever happened to having a "live" 2nd copy?You can still make a copy of a SATA DOM to a USB stick.

SuperMicro recommends no redundancy.
Wonder why?

Can you automate this ?

Not realistically, no.
