Hi Martin,
you cannot use a raid1 device for boot itself. The zipl bootloader
requires either
a scsi disk or a dasd. With SLES this means, that you need to have a plain
dasd mounted on /boot in order to ipl.
For the root filesystem you can in fact use raid1 via the md driver or via
the logical
volume manager. In case you are looking for full redundancy of storage
devices, it
seems wise to create a second copy of the /boot filesystem, and run zipl
on the
second ipl device as well. You will then be able to boot from either disk,
but you
need to remember to re-do the procedure whenever you update your system
kernel.
with kind regards
Carsten Otte
