Re: Softraid on XServe?

I was also perplexed by this for a while. The solution I found was to install OSXS via target disk mode with my powerbook. When running the setup you will see both of the Xserve's drives as firewire drives. Create a RAID volume with the two, then install the OS. After the OS is on, reboot and continue setup via remote Server Assistant.

Hello List,

does anybody know if its possible to create a softraid in an >Dual XServe G5 (Raid 1 with 2 80GB Drives) which has no monitor connected.

The Softwareon the disks is OS X Server 10.3.3

Yet I found no way with Server-Assistant. But it was possible with normal Startup with a Monitor connected and DiskUtility - the Xserve did boot from this Raid and showed no reaction when pulling the rigth disk - but it crashed after removing the left drive.

I installed a mirrored SOft-Raid (2 80GB Drives) with a Monitor and than tried to Install OS X Server with Server-Assistant remote but this tool showed 2 Harddisks with 40GB each.

Does anybody know if its possible to work with a Softraid reliable?

thanks
