*AND*optimize performance, how should I setup RAID for the "new" configurations?
The entire system I would install on HW RAID, and use LVM for flexibility in domU configurations. You can do things like take LVM snapshots and have a clone of your system available for testing, for instance.
In a recent Red Hat class that I took (RH436 - clustering and storage) we had a dom0 and several domU's - all of the domU's were actually snapshots of one "gold master" if you will, so that:
1) The amount of storage required is reduced 2) The ability to quickly rebuild one of the domU's to a "known-good" configuration.
Let me know if you have any further question!
