I am planning to create two virtual disks connected to the same 12g RAID controller on a UCS C220 M5 server.
1st Virtual Disk will have three SSDs (RAID 1 with dedicated hot spare)
2nd Virtual Disk will have 7 SAS HDDs (RAID 10 with dedicated hot spare)
Is the above configuration supported with SSDs and HDDs being assigned to separate VDs but connected to the same controller?
Documentation states that a mix of SSD and HDD shouldn't be on the same RAID Group but what does a RAID Group mean? All drives in the same VD or all drives in the same RAID controller?
Solved! Go to Solution.

VDs usually fill out the whole raid 'group''s capacity, but you can split up multiple VDs on a single raid group, which is why they reference the raid group as the line of separation for the two drive types.
For your purposes, you can mix the HDD and SDDs while they each have their own raid volumes/group, like your configuration reflects.
