<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But for RAID 5, You should always use hardware

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you use software RAID and your CPU spikes for
too long, you can corrupt your disks. I have seen this several

<DIV><BR clear=all>Dear All,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to get community's feedback with regard to RAID1 ( Software
or Hardware) implementations with asterisk.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>This is my setup</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Motherboard with SATA RAID1 support</DIV>
<DIV>CENT OS 4.4</DIV>
<DIV>Asterisk 1.2.19</DIV>
<DIV>Libpri/zaptel latest release</DIV>
<DIV>2.8 Ghz Intel processor</DIV>
<DIV>2 80 GB SATA Hard disks</DIV>
<DIV>256 MB RAM</DIV>
<DIV>digium PRI/E1 card</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Following are the concerns I am having</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm planing to put this asterisk server in production enviorment which is
having E1 connection to the asterisk server, approximately</DIV>
<DIV>20 con-current calls, Music on hold, voice mail boxes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1. If I use Software RAID, what would be the impact to my deployment?
( problems that I have to face with regard to the call flow )</DIV>
<DIV>2. If I use Hardware based RAID 1, what would be the impact to the
system?</DIV>
<DIV>3. According to your practical experiance what is the ideal
solution among both options?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will be highly appreciate your feedback on this regard.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
