I have a server with 10 drives, looking to set up RAID 1 on the first 2 drives (for the OS) and RAID 10 on the remaining 8 (for database).
When I'm rolling through this set up in Dell Lifecycle Controller, I finish the first RAID fine. When I set up the second RAID on the remaining 8 drives, I get a warning:
If any modifications are applied, the virtual disk configuration is lost on all the virtual disks in the system.
If I go through with this, it indeed does wipe out my RAID 1 setup I made earlier.
What am I missing? How would one set up accomplish this set up?
Controller: PERC H730 Integrated RAID Controller, 1GB Cache

H730 can definitely do multiple raid. It sounds like you might have selected the two disks that are already assigned to your RAID1 while creating your RAID10.

Also, try making sure your BIOS and RAID controller firmware are fully updated.
