diskdiscover command not working on Dell PowerEdge Servers to create Hardware RAID configuration #7383

I was referring to https://xcat-docs.readthedocs.io/en/stable/advanced/raid/hardware_raid.html to create a hardware RAID on Dell PowerEdge Servers.

When running xdsh node00002 diskdiscover , it shows iprconfig:command not found. image

It is mentioned in the linked document that diskdiscover uses iprconfig to configure RAID. Since iprconfig is an IBM utility, wanted to confirm if it will work for Dell PowerEdge Servers?

Quoting the documentation page

IBM has offered a tool iprconfig to configure raid for IBM power machine.

As noted, this is only for Power architecture, not x86_64 or AArch64 architecture (Dell machines are either x86_64 or AArch64)

In the same manner as IBM and iprconfig, Dell offers a tool to manage Raid on PowerEdge machines. You will need to install and write a script based on this.

Hopefully, you'll contribute it back to the upstream distribution too.
