I didn't know this guide from HPE. What I'm not sure is how well it is
supported now for newer distributions like EL9. I could be wrong but I
think EL9 already supports setting this up out of the box without any
additional fiddling.
In my case years ago with EL7 I simply put /boot/efi on a partition on
disk 0 and another one on disk 1, like so:
/dev/nvme0n1p1 200M 12M 189M 6% /boot/efi
/dev/nvme1n1p1 200M 12M 189M 6% /boot/efi.backup
To keep the filesystems in sync I've added a hook to our package update
mechanism which simply calls this bash function:
EFISRC="/boot/efi"
EFIDEST="${EFISRC}.backup"
efisync() {
if [ -d "${EFISRC}/EFI" -a -d "${EFIDEST}/EFI" ]; then
rsync --archive --delete --verbose "${EFISRC}/EFI" "${EFIDEST}/"
fi
}
If I had to install this today I'd like to put it on RAID as discussed.

Simon
