Abstract
A software-RAID-protected boot data vSAN system includes a chassis housing a software RAID subsystem coupled to storage devices and to controller devices. The software RAID subsystem designates a RAID controller device and a vSAN controller device from the controller devices, and configures a first subset of the storage devices for boot storage and a second subset of the storage devices for vSAN storage. The software RAID subsystem then provides a RAID path from the RAID controller device to the boot storage provided by the first subset of the storage devices, and provides a vSAN path from the vSAN controller device to the vSAN storage provided by the second subset of the storage devices. The software RAID subsystem then routes boot storage commands along the RAID path, and routes vSAN storage commands along the vSAN path.
