Hardware Raid 1 with Centos 7

Hello -

Fairly new to MAAS.

I’m trying to use MAAS with HW raid 1 on intel servers and not having much luck.
My builds are failing on deployment.
I’m not sure how I can set the storage after the commission to have the deployment complete.
Has anyone tried this ? suggestions best practices?

I use commission scripts for Hardware RAID. If you are using this method, be sure to reboot the server and mark these flags in metadata:

recommission: True
may_reboot: True
hardware_type: storage

with this settings maas will reboot, recomission and detect the new logical drives for deploy on them.
