Building Out XenServer 6.5 with USB Boot and Software RAID 10
-
Yes, the Local OBR10 is back on XenCenter.
-
@DustinB3403 Not so sure about the entry on fstab, I don't have the entry in my setup and xen properly automounts it
-
@Romo It's outside of the norm for XenServer.
Even if it's benign.
XenServer by default, doesn't say "oh yeah go build an mdadm array" because it's not ideal if you can avoid it.

Looks good?
[root@XenServer ~]# cat /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid10] [raid1] md0 : active raid1 sdb[0] sdc[1] 976631360 blocks super 1.2 [2/2] [UU] [=>...................] resync = 5.4% (52749312/976631360) finish=143.3min speed=107400K/sec unused devices: <none> [root@XenServer ~]# -
@anonymous besides just the two disk, yeah it looks alright.
-
Nothing wrong with RAID 1!

Will this guide work with CentOS 7?

It likely would, but you'll have to test it to find out.

To do what with CentOS 7? Do you want to install CentOS to a USB stick? Or are you just looking for the MD RAID portion?
-
We need to make this guide again with XS7.
-
Has anyone attempted this guide on XS7? Confirming what works and what doesn't.
-
@DustinB3403 I'll try it tomorrow night.

Thanks

@scottalanmiller Well, change of plans, I ordered 32GB more RAM and 2 New 64GB thumbdrives, which will be here Saturday. Will upgrade then and test
-
There appears to be a bug with XS7 and upgrading / using an existing MD array.
-
@DustinB3403 Interesting. I will be starting fresh... Would you like to to try a upgrade as well?
-
@aaronstuder Tried upgrading, and I'm getting several errors on my test system. Which ran XS6.5 just fine.
Going to try again and see what happens, this time not using the existing array, but the same boot device.
