[PVE-User] Install PVE on IBM System x3100

[Guy]

Yes it's soft Raid which suffers in performance as it's the CPU is handling writing to both disks.  There have been lots of discussions here about it.  In the end I tend to agree not to support it, specially in enterprise worlds you need high performance and reliability which soft raid I not.
