4 years ago @janr7, one workaround would be to create both RAID 1 and RAID 5 volumes using a single task. That way, both the volumes will created in one shot.
- name: Create PERC Raid volume
dellemc_idrac_storage_volume:
idrac_ip: "{{ rmb_address }}"
idrac_user: "{{ rmb_username }}"
idrac_password: "{{ rmb_password }}"
state: "create"
raid_reset_config: "True"
controller_id: "RAID.Slot.6-1"
volumes:
- name: "Virtual-Disk-R1"
volume_type: "RAID 1"
disk_cache_policy: "Default"
write_cache_policy: "WriteBack"
read_cache_policy: "ReadAhead"
raid_init_operation: "Fast"
span_length: 2
span_depth: 1
number_dedicated_hot_spare: 0
stripe_size: 131072
drives:
id: ["Disk.Bay.0:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.6-1",
"Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.6-1"]
- name: "Virtual-Disk-r50"
volume_type: "RAID 5"
disk_cache_policy: "Default"
write_cache_policy: "WriteBack"
read_cache_policy: "ReadAhead"
raid_init_operation: "Fast"

span_depth: 1
number_dedicated_hot_spare: 0

"Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.6-1",
"Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.6-1",
"Disk.Bay.5:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.6-1"]

Hello
dellemc_idrac_storage_volume is used to create a RAID1 VD just fine. If dellemc_idrac_storage_volume is used to create a RAID5 VD this works as well.
However: If a second VD is added to the PERC controller, the 2nd request schedules a delete of the existing VD. No matter which type RAID1 or RAID2 were created first. Creating the 2nd VD manually is no problem. It stays there.
Please advise. Thanks so much.
