Doc Update: createlogicaldrive Example Command

[sw-elling]

The custom logical drive creation example in the RESTful Interface Tool User Guide is invalid.

The example given lists the drive with an index of 2 in both the list of physical drive indexes and in the "--spare-drives" option:

iLOrest > login
Discovering data...Done
ilorest > createlogicaldrive customdrive Raid5 2,3,4,5,6 --controller=1 --name=ANewLogicalDrive --spare-drives=2 --capacityGiB=100 --legacy-boot=Primary --accelerator-type=ControllerCache --sparetye=Dedicated

Testing shows that the designated spare drive must not be in the list of physical drive indexes.

---

The tool's built in documentation w.r.t. custom logical drive creation can use some polishing.

ilorest --nologo help createlogicaldrive

To create a custom logical drive. example: createlogicaldrive customdrive <physicaldriveindex(s)> --name=drivename --spare-drives=3,4 --spare-type=Dedicated --capacityGiB=10 --acc elerator-type=None

The "--spare-drives=3,4" option in the example should probably be "--spare-drives=<physicaldriveindex(es)>" or similar.

In addition, clarification should be provided:

• The "physicaldriveindex(es)" must be a comma separated list for both the drives that make up the logical drive and the spares
• The spare drive index(es) cannot be listed on the physical drive indexes

Thank you for the find and report. We will update the documentation to fix this.

I'm no longer supporting HPE hardware so do what you want with this issue.
