Glavian Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Hello all. I'm new the Home Server Show forums, but I've been a user of WHS for the past two years. When I first built my server, I wanted to have the System drive to be a RAID Mirror Array of two 160GB SATA Drives. I had it configured correctly on my RAID card, but I couldn't get WHS to install correctly. Has any one had any luck in doing this? Or does anyone know if this will be supported in Vail? Thanks!!

SabatonFan80 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 As far I know, running Raid on your system drive is "unsupported" in WHS (officially anyways). I think this has consistently been one of the most requested features and is (unless my memory is failing me horribly) expected to be supported in Vail.

I'm hoping RAID is supported in Vail as I'd feel much better if my system drive was Fault Tolerant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shollz Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I agree a redundant raid would be nice for the system disk in WHS V1. But, for VAIL, we will be able to remove the system disk from the pool. That should enable us to use either a tool from Microsoft or a program like Acronis, to do full backups of the system Drive. That is what I am hoping for Anyways, since I would like to put Vail on an SSD or a 10K rpm HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that not backup of the system? not raid support/duplication(software raid/fault tolerance). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
