Software RAID Configuration
If you are making a RAID partition of /boot, you must choose RAID
level 1 and it must use one of the first two drives (IDE first, SCSI second).
If you are not creating a RAID partition of /boot, and you are making
a RAID partition of /, it must be RAID level 1 and it must use one of the
first two drives (IDE first, SCSI second).
• Select which partitions will go into this RAID array and then click
• A spare partition can be specified for RAID 1 and RAID 5. If a software RAID partition fails, the
spare will automatically be used as a replacement. For each spare you want to specify, you must
create an additional software RAID partition (in addition to the partitions for the RAID device).
In the previous step, select the partitions for the RAID device and the partition(s) for the spare(s).
Select the number of spares.
• Select whether you want the partition formatted.
• The RAID device will appear in the
Array. At this point, you can continue with your installation process. Refer to the Official Red
Hat Linux Installation Guide for further instructions.
