The first "better" interessting CPU is one of the Core iX which provides 2 real cores and 4 threads at all. There's no need to go for an other Celeron or Pentium, they provide no or just a little more power than the G530.

Since G460 has the same price like the G440 and provides additionally EIST & HT (!), it'll be the better choice. Bargain CPUs are the Celerons G440, G460 and G530, all three convinced me with HyperV, part of "Windows 8 Preview", whereas the power consumption of the G530 is low, of the G4xx is very low. Within Linux the RAID compound is automatically handled by device manager, like pure soft raids.Ī good base is Intel's DH67BL or compareable, which you can get for around 70-80 Euro bugs.

Average CPU consumption is very low, even on high pressure, and the volumes are recognized as one volume from system's start on. I could easily mix complete different HDDs types and vendors and run this combination for weeks, contrary to other fake raid controllers, which are only reliable within the same disk typs. The performance and reliability is astonishing and on the same level like my beloved HP SmartArray controllers.

īut the last weeks I pay some time in testing Intel RST2, which is part of Intel's chip series 6 and siblings, starting from H67. Yes, CPUs do have a lot of power to handle these things in parallel, well at least you don't go for an Intel Atom or so. I'm still the opinion Soft Raid from Linux kernel is not the right way to to go, since it's handling is odd. ProxVE is an amazing product, and I'm not going to complain based on their preference and decisions for supported configurations
#SOFTRAID SUPPORT SOFTWARE#
Ultimately though, if developers of ProxVE don't want to do software raid support - that is their decision - which can't be changed by discussion or such. You can get a "HCL Supported" hardware raid card for $200 or less, easily (or $50 or less for good-used-working on Ebay if you have a tight budget even $200 or less for good-new-in-box from Newegg or similar). additionally I'm tempted to say, that if you can't follow the steps in this process without error or confusion, then you probably shouldn't be using software raid in the first place.
#SOFTRAID SUPPORT INSTALL#
(Alternately, as it has already been stated - just install debian using debian install media do your software raid there / during that part of the install process and add proxmox VE after the fact.) note that it takes a while (wall clock time) due to LVM moves and so forth but it is very simple process really. the process to migrate to SWRaid for proxmox is quite well covered in this posting: It is a dev host, doing non-production stuff - but still important enough to me that I prefer to not allow a hard drive failure to cause loss of data. As expected the IO performance is not fantastic but then again the hardware is not fantastic. for what it is worth, I've got a dev / testing host running proxVE with SW raid and it works fine - it has been running this way >1 year now. instead you need to read the forums, find the way to do a clean install and then migrate to software raid. It is also quite clear, that you can run proxmoxVE on software raid just not via a trivial feature integrated in the appliance installer CD/ISO I think the position of the folks who build and support Proxmox is perfectly clear - they don't wish to support software raid. This issue has been discussed a fair bit already Just a quick footnote, for what it is worth.
#SOFTRAID SUPPORT LICENSE#
If you have to have OpenVZ you could buy a license (15$ per month, cheaper than hardware plus support). the GPL version is free for KVM and Xen and integrates with Virtualmin and Webmin.
#SOFTRAID SUPPORT UPGRADE#
A good percentage of those budget minded users upgrade sooner or later, may be don't have the time to do everything on their, may be need a support subscription. Proxmox might think, that they don't want low-end users like me anyway ('cause no money. Unfortunately Proxmox is too expensive (even though it is free, but the hardware raid. Just to clarify, I am not saying that proxmox is not an enterprise class product. And exactly this group of users would need software raid. I could imagine that many budget minded users found Proxmox for the same reason. One of the reasons why I found Proxmox it basically because it is free. But the loss in the worst case scenario would be definitely less than the money spent on hardware RAID (in my case - "low-end"). I realize that software raid is not as good as hardware raid. But if I add a hardware controller I have to add $30, with bbu $50 per month! That is pretty expensive. It looks like that I can get decent a dedicated server with two disk for $85 per month (for my purposes. So I guess there is no chance that we ever get a software raid option.
