Explanation

Storage tiering requires a storage pool that contains both SSD (solid-state) and HDD (spinning hard disk) drives, because Windows Server creates separate tiers - one for SSD (performance tier) and one for HDD (capacity tier). Pool2 and Pool3 each contain a mix of SSD and HDD drives, making them eligible for tiered virtual disks. Pool1 contains only drives of a single media type (either all SSD or all HDD), so it cannot support storage tiers since there are not two distinct drive types to form separate tiers. Therefore, only Pool2 and Pool3 can host VDisk1.
