Building Out XenServer 6.5 with USB Boot and Software RAID 10
-
@aaronstuder
parted /dev/device rm 1Repeat rm for each partition on the drive.
Edit: @DustinB3403 method is better if it's an mdadm array.

@travisdh1 @DustinB3403 Thanks guys!

I had to erase each of the disks before being able to proceed.
So if this were a production system or other system that you really want your VM's from take a backup.
-
I've selected no VM storage, and enabled Thin Provisioning at the initial screen. I'm checking the installation media for issues as well. I'll update shortly from there.
So far no issues found.
Proceeding.

That means you cannot upgrade.
-
@JaredBusch Correct.
With this system I had removed the bootable USB prior too, with it in place I may have been able to upgrade.
But since this was a test system it was already torn down and the drives had data stuck to them that was causing some issues.
-
So I was able to upgrade, obviously the array is gone.
With XS7 you need to install a newer version of XenCenter if you want to manage it.
-
@DustinB3403 The new version is backwards compatible with 6.5 though.

Good to know, I was just about to test.
