Thanks guys. Great tips.<div><br></div><div>1- I am not sure if FakeRaid was used or not because I think that didn't work for me so I had Proxmox to do the Raid - I thought Proxmox did that during the first phase of installation - or could I be wrong and Proxmox .iso doesn't do a SoftRaid?</div>
<div><br></div><div>2- Is there a safer way of doing this as well? Let's say I buy two new hard drives and just transfer VMs and KVMs somehow?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks again,</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>In my experience yes, although udev might rename your network<br>
interfaces, thus breaking vmbridge connectivity.<br>
Cleaning up /etc/udev/rules.d/*persistent-net.rules (removing the lines<br>
with the old MAC address) should be enough to fix or prevent this (be<br>
careful, this line will be re-created during boot-up)<br>
<br>
About the raid thing: don't use fakeraid :)<br>
<br>
As Martin says, real hardware RAID is the best option, but that doesn't<br>
mean that regular Linux SoftRaid (mdadm) won't work - it does work, but<br>
isn't supported officially.<br>
<br>
