[BUG]: Host WWNs not idempotent if input in different case

[rawstorage]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• name: Create Child initiato groups dellemc.powermax.host: unispherehost: "{{unispherehost}}" universion: "{{universion}}" verifycert: "{{verifycert}}" user: "{{user}}" password: "{{password}}" serial_no: "{{serial_no}}" hostname: "{{'IG'+item.name | upper }}"
  host_flags: consistent_lun: true state: 'present' initiators: "{{ item.initiators}}" initiator_state: 'present-in-host' register: childIgCreateResponse loop: "{{ hosts }}" ... hosts:
  • name: "REGTESTESX041" initiators:
    • "3311111111111EA2"
    • "3311111111111EA3"
  • name: "REGTESTESX042" initiators:
    • "3311111111111EA4"
    • "3311111111111EA5"

n. Step n See error

Expected behavior Module should not care about case, WWN should be normalised on API side to match for idempotency regardless of upper|lower this is the behaviour in PowerMax CLI

Thanks Anupam, note there are also some case sensitivity issues around Host and HostGroup names, this should also be addressed in the fix
