My dell SC430 came with instructions on how to set up booting from software raid under RHEL. I can't find an online copy but this might help http://lists.us.dell.com/pipermail/linux-poweredge/2003-July/008898.html
Normally before I move a machine from testing to production I like to do some tests, including pulling a disk from the raid and knowing how to recover/restore etc.
If it is going to be remotely hosted, you also need to figure out how you are going to do it remotely.

Hi,
I have a Dell poweredge 400SC here with an LSI scsi card.I installed Centos4 a while ago and put it in a datacenter. I rebooted many weeks after, and the machine didn't come back up. So I went to the datacenter tonight to find out that the server was stuck at "GRUB". Nothing more. So I decided to re-install Centos4. The partitions were already there, so I just made sure partitions were formatted and the install went fine. When I rebooted, "GRUB".
I'm at this point and I don't know exactly what I could do todiagnose furthere.
Any ideas?grub cannot find its second stage. Are you booting from a mirrored partition?
Yes
