Well - you can upgrade to a RAID1 or RAID5 (sort of).
After installation you can:
#1 - Add new hard drive (two for RAID5)
#2 - Create failed disk RAID1 or RAID5
#3 - Create file system on RAID1 or RAID5
#4 - Boot from rescue disk (must have RAID kernel on it)
#5 - Copy old non-RAID to new RAID using afio or cpio
#6 - Reboot to new RAID (change fstab and rdev your kernel)
#7 - raidhotadd old disk
I've done it -- works 'jes fine...

If you're only installing RAID "later", you must realize that you will not
be able to apply RAID to the existing data on your drives; you will only be
able to 'raidify' empty partitions, unless you reinstall RedHat and use
their new HA Disk Druid capabilities.
