Change the controller mode from raid to jbod and vice versa
Hi,
I am trying to change the controller mode from raid to jbod. I do not have the correct syntax.
So the following works:
racadm -r IP -u user -p password raid get controllers:RAID.Modular.3-1 -p CurrentControllerMode
RAID.Modular.3-1
CurrentControllerMode = RAID
How do I set it to JBOD
racadm -r IP -u user -p password raid set Controllers:RAID.Modular.3-1.CurrentControllerMode JBOD
The errors which I get is :
ERROR: SWC0244 : Invalid Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD).
What is the correct syntax.
Thanks

Hello
The command to set the controller is covered on page 183 of the command line guide. It looks like you should be using hba instead of jbod.

The first link should have contained the openmanage command line syntax via omconfig. The iDRAC command is on page 459 of the iDRAC RACADM manual.

If you continue to get errors changing the mode then make sure your PERC supports the feature. There are very few of our controllers that support RAID and HBA mode.

Hi,
Thanks for the link.
"Changing The Controller Mode"
This section does list how to change the controller mode through UI.
There are no examples related to command lines. I could not find any.
I tried :
racadm -r IP -u user -p password set Controllers:RAID.Modular.3-1.CurrentControllerMode HBA
Got the same error.
Thanks
