[rhn-users] RAID question, for RHEL WS (v. 3 for x86)

[Matt Allen]

Jeff,

Hardware RAID is set up by the controller/bios before the OS loads, so as far 
as I know RedHat would only see one drive. It sounds to me like you had 
software RAID running, and if it was mirroring then it was RAID 1, not 0.

If you don't see anything about RAID when the machine is booting up (pre OS 
loading) then there probably isn't any hardware RAID.

As for getting your RAID set back: Does the RedHat WS install see any 
pre-existing partitions on your drives?
