Hi,

So, you want to create a storage pool with multiple RAID protection level. Is that what you want..?

Well, i guess, that is not supported for VNX Block OE release 31. In this pools support single RAID protection level..either RAID-5, RAID-6 or RAID-1/0.

But for release 32, yes, it is possible to have multiple RAID protection level.

Suggest you to refer to EMC VNX virtual provisioning whitepaper.

Thanks
