XG450 out of the box RAID

Samuel Heinrich

we received an XG450 Appliance today. 

during first boot, I've noticed that there is no RAID configured (see screenshot)

is this how it is supposed to be?

Does XG do some kind of software RAID instead?

 

I'm pretty sure that SG450s used the internal RAID controller and RAID 1 was configured.

 

if so, is there a way to check an existing XG450, which is already in installed (this appliance will be the Auxillary) remotely if RAID is configured or not?

    XG have mdadm (software raid) inside SFOS.

    Can you SSH in your XG 450 and check if the software raid exists with: "cat /proc/mdstat" ?

     

    Thanks!

    Hi Prism

    awesome, thanks for the fast response

    yes, i can confirm.

    XG450_WP02_SFOS 18.0.0 GA-Build379# cat /proc/mdstat
    Personalities : [raid0] [raid1] [raid10] [raid6] [raid5] [raid4]
    md0 : active raid1 sda[0] sdb[1]
    250059008 blocks [2/2] [UU]
    bitmap: 2/2 pages [8KB], 65536KB chunk

    unused devices: <none>

     

    I was confused because i remember the SG450 uses HW RAID1. 

    Does this technically mean, if you upgrade an SG450 (UTM) to XG, that you need to delete the RAID1 first?

    Your better asking the Support for this one, but I believe you will need to delete the hardware raid first, so on the installation of XG it creates the software raid with both SSD.

    But I'm not sure, so your better asking with the support.

     

    Thanks!
