Unable to set stripesize using CreateVirtualDiskREDFISH.py

stranger12345678 commented 2 years ago

I get the following error, while trying to use stripesize argument. Without stripesize arg, it goes well.

CreateVirtualDiskREDFISH.py -ip xx.xx.xx.xx -u admin -p xxxxxx --name VD3 --stripesize 64 -C RAID.Slot.5-1 -D Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.5-1 -R 0 -V y

FAIL, POST command failed, status code is 400
POST command failure is: {u'error': {u'code': u'Base.1.2.GeneralError', u'message': u'A general error has occurred. See ExtendedInfo for more information', u'@Message.ExtendedInfo': [{u'Severity': u'Warning', u'RelatedProperties': [], u'MessageId': u'IDRAC.1.6.SYS425', u'MessageArgs@odata.count': 2, u'RelatedProperties@odata.count': 0, u'Message': u'Unable to complete the operation because the value 64 entered for the property OptimumIOSizeBytes is invalid.', u'Resolution': u"Enter a valid value for the property in the request body and retry the operation.For information about valid values, see the iDRAC User's Guide available on the support site.", u'MessageArgs': [u'64', u'OptimumIOSizeBytes']}]}}

64 is a valid stripesize, also tried other values like 256, 512. All throws same error.

Hi @stranger12345678

For stripe size, you need to pass in the value in bytes, not kilobytes. The script help text was incorrect which i have updated. See example below of creating a VD with stripe size 64KB, i passed in the value 65536 bytes.

Thanks @texroemer That worked.

Hi @texroemer Also while exporting config using ExportSystemConfigurationLocalREDFISH.py, it says stripesize is 128, even though actual stripe size is 64KB. And 128 too comes as commented and don't see any other field in the exported config, which says stripesize is 64

cat /tmp/export | grep StripeSize

        <!-- <Attribute Name="StripeSize">128</Attribute>-->
        <!-- <Attribute Name="StripeSize">128</Attribute>-->

Exporting server configuration profile (SCP feature), VD stripesize value will always report double of the actual value, reason you see 128 for 64kb. If you want to create a 64KB VD using SCP, you will need to pass in a value of 128 for StripeSize.

Here are the converted values which this attribute is pulled from WSMAN.

Thanks @texroemer. Tried with 256 as well and its displays 512.
