Indeed, if it is the only option you have, SW RAID means Software
Raid, so fake Raid. As Proxmox-ve use in fact a RHEL kernel, you can
try the setup with RHEL option, but I am not sure it will work...<br>
<br>
The best option is to invest in a good hardware Raid card
(adaptatec, 3Ware...).<br>
<br>
The other option is to setup your Raid inside Linux, with Linux Raid
Software, madm. See for example :<br>

<br>
But it is not supported in Proxmox. And I am not sure it will be
possible, after Proxmox installs on the first disk, to configure a
Raid 10 with the three other...<br>

this RAID with OS. because it is written that " [SW RAID]
supports configuration of SATA ports for RAID via RAID
configuration software" and unfortunately this CD don't supports
debian therefore i think this is a dead lock now only option is
linux software RAID or buy hardware RAID card.

Any suggestion ?

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> Hi
Muhammad,<br>
<br>
Raid 10 is not common for a fake Raid, I would
presume it is real Raid. Do you know what Raid
Controller you have ? Normally, the hardware
drivers are included in the linux kernel, and
Promox kernel (the last, 2.6.32-6 is based on
RHEL 6 one) contains a lot of them. The
Proxmox team even includes more drivers if
they are available and are requested by users.<br>
<br>
But the normal way to setup Raid volume (for
example Raid 10), if it is a real hardware
Raid Conttroller, is to enter the Raid bios
Setup (often Ctrl-A when you power on the
server), and inside this Raid setup, you
configure your Raid (selecting the level, the
disks included in the volume, and so on, see
the documentation of your Raid Controller).
Then there is a long Raid initialization
phase, and only when it is completed, you can
try to install Proxmox-ve. If the Raid
controller is recognized, the installer will
see one disk, your Raid 10 volume, and
happilly install on it.<br>
<br>
Be sure there is a Battery Board Unit (BBU) on
your Raid Controller if there is Ram cache.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps.<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
i have a Intel base server
machine S5500BC to which i
want to install<br>
Proxmox 1.9 pr 1.8 with RAID
10 option this is a builtin
motherboard<br>
option. now the problem is
when i use the bootable CD

motherboard that contain the
RAID Drivers (Regardless of
fake or<br>
hardware RAID) i can see
only 3 OS options. RHEL ,
Windows, SUSE but i<br>
can not see debian or any
other. now my need is RAID
10 with Proxmox and<br>
CD is not compatible with
Proxmox . please guide me to
overcome the issue.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
It is quite common as a question,
the answer is always the same, do
not use the fake RAID.<br>
<br>
How data are stored is unique to
the model of the motherboard. If
the motherboard fails, it will
have the same model to retrieve
data from RAID.<br>
<br>
So using the Linux RAID software
or true RAID hardware with a card.<br>
<br>
In the case of RAID hardware,
check which models are compatible
with each other and buy a spare
card.<br>
<br>
<br>
