We have had customers have more than a single drive failure in a Raid5 set with all your vms running. It was pretty.
So perhaps 2 drives raid 1 for ESXi and ISOs, 7 drives raid 5 for vms, 7 drives raid 5 for vms But yeah the existing layout seems odd….but I do what it says…but I’m not sure where the contact center bu gets these setups from.

Cisco's docs seem to change because at one point, the docwiki specified that it could be built in either a raid 5 or raid 10 (for the app storage), but that has been updated. I'd personally setup a mirror with the first two for ESXI and then a raid 10 with the remainder drives. You get more IOPS out of it and should have plenty of space.

Customer asked me why Cisco would have ESXi installed on a 1.93TB raid 5 array vs having two drives in Raid 1 mirror. I told them I would ask around.
