[PVE-User] Proxmox and RAID-1 - Does it not support it?

[Martin Maurer]

Hi,

Proxmox VE does not support fake raid, only real hardware raid controllers.
If you see two drives you got fake raid, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID#Firmware.2Fdriver-based_RAID

Hardware vendors tries to tell you that you got hardware raid, but its not.

Br, martin

Hi Everyone,

I have a server that support three hard-drives so I am restricted to RAID-1 for backup. I have installed 3 x 1TB Hard Drives and configured RAID-1 in hardware but when I install Proxmox, I get the option to chose between sda1 and sdb1 (or sda2 maybe...) and so I don't think the hardware Raid-1 is in effect.

Does proxmox support that?

Also, how can I check to see if my RAID-1 is setup or not after proxmox is installed?

Thanks,
Bruce
