Q1: Why doesn’t local storage support HA functionality?

A: Local storage stores data on the local disk of a single node and does not support shared access across multiple hosts. When that node fails, other nodes cannot access the virtual machine’s data, making automatic failover impossible.

Q2: Can multiple types of storage be used together?

A: Yes, HCI supports the mixed use of multiple storage types.

However, each virtual machine must explicitly specify its storage location and cannot span across different storage types.
