<br>
I had OpenMediaVault running on my server for quite a while, but
the SD card took a dive. I have backups of it using fsarchiver
that I will use to put things back to the way I had when I decide
on what course of action I should take.<br>
<br>
Given this "opportunity" I decided to install Xenserver on an
internal USB drive. I have the (4) 3TB HDD previously configured
as a software RAID5 (from within my previous OMV setup) that I
checked with a livecd of Peppermint I had laying around after
apt-get'ing mdadm (all is well).<br>
<br>
So how do I add/passthru the existing RAID5 so it can be mounted
by my VM's? I've seen references to "sr-locate", but I've never
done this and _really_ don't want to fubar my RAID5 data.<br>
<br>
When all is said and done, I would like to have Xenserver running
with a couple VMs and the internal RAID5 visible to the VMs.
Anyone have experience with raw disk access through Xenserver?
I'm guessing that's what I would need to do.<br>
<br>
Thoughts?<br>
