Xen users - Aug 2010 - XCP: install to local disk mirror (md raid)

Hi Folks,

Just trying to figure out XCP. Our current env is running xen with 
CentOS dom0. We do a pxe/kickstart install that set''s up the dom0 root 
and boot on a md mirror and a LVM vg on a pair of mirrored "large"
disks
for VM storage.

Is it possible to do this with XCP ? I''ve looked at the XenServer 
"Creating an answerfile for unattended PXE installation", but I
didn''t
see any software raid info. Google found a manual post install method, 
but that''s rather crude and error prone.

Thanks,
Jimmy

As far as I''m aware, XCP has no way of configuring software RAID during
install.

Even worse, as far as I can figure out, doing upgrades of XCP itself
requires you pulling the RAID apart, performing the upgrade, and then
redoing the RAID.
