Is there a way to convert to RAID a drive ?

[pyfontan]

Question

Hello, I'm trying to use this collection to create virtual drive, but dellemc.openmanage.redfish_storage_volume or dellemc_idrac_storage_volume always fail when drives state is "Non-RAID".

So i would like to first "convert to raid" the drives.

Error returned by dellemc.openmanage.redfish_storage_volume

@anupamaloke : you relabeled this issue as an enhancement. But, do you think i should also open an issue on DELL omsdk repository as it seems that this feature is not available in SDK either !

Thank you.

[anupamaloke]

@pyfontan, ansible team will automatically take care of it based on whether they would directly call the OEM REST API from the module or use omsdk. BTW, what all generations of servers (12G, 13G and/or 14G) do you have in your environment?

[pyfontan]

@anupamaloke We have all 3 generations in our environment. R720xd / R730xd / R740xd2

Thank you for your answer.

Hi Folks, I would like to do it the other way round, so I would need the equivalent of the "convert to non-RAID". Best regards, Joerg
