I need some help with a custom install.
I have a client that I access via a remote connection. Their server has
two physical drives set up in a software RAID-1. To make a long story
short, through a "perfect storm" series of events, they lost both hard
drives. I shipped them a backup of their data and their local admin got
the server running on a single drive.
I figured I could set up the other drive as 1/2 of a RAID array, install
the data, and then reboot the server with the RAID running and complete
the mirroring operation. I mostly followed this process:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Convert_a_single_drive_system_to_RAID
I am running into trouble getting a valid boot sector on the new raid
drive. This is the first time I've dealt with GRUB 2, and I am not sure
how to set it up to boot off of /dev/md1 (the boot partition).
Here's what I have:
/dev/sdb - current boot drive with GRUB installed correctly. This boots
just fine.
/dev/sda - new half-array drive without GRUB installed.
Q: How do I get GRUB installed so it boots off of /dev/md1 (/dev/sda2)?
I am doing this all via ssh; I have no physical access to the server, so
some way of checking that the system will actually boot correctly would
be welcome.
