RAID1, HP Proliant and ESXi

Hi,

I recently bought an HP Proliant server - ML310e Gen8v2 QC 3.10GHz, to give it its Sunday name.

This machine has one 1 TB disk and two x 2TB disks, and a RAID controller: Dynamic Smart Array B120i.

My aim is to get RAID1 on the two larger disks, and use the third as a backup, is this feasible?   I want four VMs on the machine. 

A colleague who has some ESXi knowledge, tells me that it's not possible to install the scratch partition on a SATA drive which also has VMs on it.

Any advice as to how to get this set up, gratefully received.
