HOWTO: First Steps After Installation
aptitude update aptitude -y safe-upgrade

HOWTO: Set System Locale
dpkg-reconfigure locales  (and choose en_GB.utf8)

Thanks - https://wiki.debian.org/Locale

Install Software
aptitude install mdadm

Prepare Disks
sgdisk -R=/dev/sdb /dev/sda sgdisk -t 2:fd00 /dev/sdb sgdisk -t 3:fd00 /dev/sdb sgdisk -R=/dev/sdc /dev/sda sgdisk -t 2:fd00 /dev/sdc sgdisk -t 3:fd00 /dev/sdc parted GNU Parted 2.3 Using /dev/sda Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands. (parted) print Model: ATA WDC WD3000FYYZ-0 (scsi) Disk /dev/sda: 3001GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags 1     1049kB  2097kB  1049kB               primary  bios_grub 2     2097kB  537MB   535MB   ext3         primary  boot 3     537MB   3001GB  3000GB               primary  lvm (parted) (parted) select /dev/sdb Using /dev/sdb (parted) print Model: ATA WDC WD3000FYYZ-0 (scsi) Disk /dev/sdb: 3001GB Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B Partition Table: gpt Number Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags 1     1049kB  2097kB  1049kB               primary  bios_grub 2     2097kB  537MB   535MB                primary  raid 3     537MB   3001GB  3000GB               primary  raid

Create RAID Arrays
mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=1 --raid-disks=2 missing /dev/sdb2 mdadm --create /dev/md1 --level=1 --raid-disks=2 missing /dev/sdb3 cat /proc/partitions /proc/mdstat

Copy Boot Files To RAID Array
mkfs.ext3 /dev/md0 mkdir /mnt/tmp mount /dev/md0 /mnt/tmp cp -ax /boot/* /mnt/tmp umount /mnt/tmp rmdir /mnt/tmp

Change Boot Filesystem Tab
nano /etc/fstab /dev/pve/root / ext3 errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/pve/data /var/lib/vz ext3 defaults 0 1 /dev/md0 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1 /dev/pve/swap none swap sw 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
 * 1) UUID=46b4d3d6-fdec-43b6-a4cb-3f8f8a9c6c10 /boot ext3 defaults 0 1

Do not reboot now as per kbDone's page!

Update GRUB Bootloader
echo 'GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true' >> /etc/default/grub echo 'GRUB_PRELOAD_MODULES="raid dmraid"' >> /etc/default/grub echo raid1 >> /etc/modules echo raid1 >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules grub-install /dev/sda grub-install /dev/sdb grub-install /dev/sdc  (because we will actually be adding sdc below) update-grub update-initramfs -u

Now reboot.

reboot

Prepare First Disk (Part 1)
sgdisk -t 2:fd00 /dev/sda mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda2

Move LVM Data
pvcreate /dev/md1 vgextend pve /dev/md1 pvmove /dev/sda3 /dev/md1  <-- this takes a very long time! vgreduce pve /dev/sda3 pvremove /dev/sda3

Prepare First Disk (Part 2)
sgdisk -t 3:fd00 /dev/sda mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sda3  <-- this takes a long time as well cat /proc/mdstat

Wait for RAID to sync.

Add Extra (Spare) Disks As Required
mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sdc2 mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdc3

Update GRUB (Again)
grub-install /dev/sda grub-install /dev/sdb grub-install /dev/sdc update-grub update-initramfs -t -u sync

Finish
reboot cat /proc/mdstat
