redfish_storage_volume works fine.

@akamac, can you try with raid_reset_config argument set to True in your playbook?

akamac commented 3 years ago

That did not help. How can I get a more verbose error output for the module?

anupamaloke commented 3 years ago

@akamac, I think I might have found the issue. Could you please change span_length to 2 in your playbook and try again? span_length is the number of disks that you want to use for virtual disk creation which will be 2 for a RAID 1 volume. Ideally, the module should take a look at the list of physical disks provided in the volumes argument and calculate it automatically. @jagadeeshnv, @rajeevarakkal, FYI.

It is indeed. Thanks for looking into this!
