It depends on your definition of "supported."

However this is the mode I'm using, too.  ovirt on top of CentOS with
sw-raid.  Haven't had any problems.

Hello Chris,

On non-node installation I can’t see any problems as you said, but due to the 
appliance nature of oVirt Node I don’t know if this would be a supported 
scenario. Anyway you raised a good point: local storage. I’m not needing this, 
perhaps someone on the list will be using this feature.

I use Linux software RAID under oVirt just fine.  I'm not using oVirt
Node though (I just installed CentOS and then installed oVirt).  Note
that I have an iSCSI SAN for VM storage - things might be different if
you are planning to use the local disks for VMs (local storage or
Gluster).

[ovirt-users] Software RAID on oVirt Node

2017-08-04 Thread Vinícius Ferrão
Hello,

On typical deployment scenarios of oVirt which is the recommended RAID 
technologies for oVirt Node installation? Should I use controller based RAID or 
mdadm can be used instead? Is this recommended?

I’m asking this because other vendors requires hardware RAID, even those 100% 
based on CentOS, like XenServer. There’s not even a way to install it with 
mdadm (Software Raid).

Thanks,
V.
