Are you using a server with hardware RAID or a regular desktop with software RAID. You will want to set that up first before you install your Operating System. If you want to set it up as a virtual server (so you can easily reinstall) check out VMWare ESXi server OS. When you get it up and running install Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. If you have any questions let me know. Feel free to give me some love for support!

If you have 2 8 TB drives I probably would recommend running in RAID 1. It is better to have double the redundancy than double the storage. I cannot imagine running a middleware application would ever even use 8 TB alone... When they spin up your system let them know you want RAID 1 setup with legacy Ubuntu (14.04)
Most places won't have it listed as an option but if you let them know you have a legacy application that only supports 14.04 they should be able to set it up for you. It is very hard and certainly not recommended to downgrade via SSH.

In case you aren't aware by using RAID 0 you are doubling the chance of drive failure!
