RAID virtual drive for the disk participating in vSAN disk group

[suhag79]

HI,

We are in process of installing vSAN. We have single RAID controller (CISCO 12 GB). Total 10 front disks are connected to this RAID controller (2 disk for Boot in RAID 1 + 1 SSD + 7 HDD ). We have created the RAID 1 to install the ESXI but do we need to create RAID from  rest of the 8 disks, i guess no,right ? as those disks will be directly added to disk group in vSAN. can any one confirm this.

regards

Yes, just pass those disks through and don't put them under a RAID level.
