Hi Gentoo-users, I'm going to build a small server with Xen-hypervisor with Gentoo as dom0 (if it is possible). Comming from ESXi-world, there is no choice (only true hw-raid is supported).
But what about Linux? What's preffered way to go? Software-raid (mdadm), or true hardware raid-controller? I have a few spares (LSI-9271), these worked quite well with ESXi but I'm not sure they are supported by Linux at all, and if there is actually some way of monitoring controller-health... Concerning sw-raid, I have used it for quite some time, but never with Xen (is it actually possible?). Moreover, grub-config for Xen itself is somehow more complicated and sw-raid could add extra complexity... So the question is simple. For Xen-server with Gentoo as dom0, what do you recommend: sofware- or hardware-raid? Any other general tips concerning Xen (particularly with Gentoo as dom0)?
