Greetings,
I have ESXi running from the 1st HD on a machine. I wanted to RAID 1 the other two hard drives, but couldn't since I don't have hardware RAID. For giggles, I used the "fake" RAID (software) to put those two hard drives in a RAID 1 array, but ESXI 5.1 still sees them as individual hard drives.
Is there any way to basically have ESXi mirror everything it does on one of the hard drives on the other, seamlessly and instantaneously? I've seen the Data Protection appliances and the Replication appliances, but I don't really think they are the solution, though I really don't know since I haven't tried them out.
Thank you.
Matthew
