a hardware raid volume is created for it (the boot volume). Currently most of our new server builds are configured with 3 hardware raid arrays (of hdd’s), 1 for boot, the other 2 for storage, if it matters.

booted from. In my understanding, cloud-init takes over after the os image has been laid down/installed and upon first reboot post-install. In any case, I’ll read upon cloud-init to see if anything has changed, but I thought getting the raid array setup would
occur before installing the os image, in a perfect world. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
