So the procedure would be:

1) boot off CD
2) run Disk Utility
3) create RAID (1, in my case)
4) install clean system to RAID partition

Hrm, for some reason, I didn’t get that far and went ahead with a single boot and a RAID1 on my data drives.

So, theoretically, I should be able to:

1) Yank the existing RAID (temporarily)
2) Install pair of same-sized HDs and create RAID1 partition
3) Use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy existing OS X system to the RAID1 partition
4) boot off new partition?

[quote:f5a22caafd=”pepi”]If you create your RAID 0 or 1 with Apple’s Disk Utility it will be bootable running Mac OS X 10.2 and X.2 Server. This works on PowerMacs as well as on the Xserve. From an AppleTechPromoter in Germany I’ve heard that Apple plans to support RAID Level 10 in one of it’s next DiskUtility updates since Xserve and PowerMacs support up to 4 HDs now, which would work fine for L10.

Of course you don’t even get to see a SoftRAID in Mac OS 9. (Classic surely does.)[/quote:f5a22caafd]

If I’m only concerned about server backup, I can go with the Workgroup version, right?

Cheers.
