converting physical disk to raid via racadm cli

Question

added some new drives to a dell r6515 and want to convert them to raid so I can create a vdisk via the racadm cli.  having a bit of a brain fart as I'm not sure what it is expecting that I'm not providing.  server: Dell PowerEdge r6515 w/ iDRAC 9.   iDRAC FW Version : 5.10.10.00 first I get a list of pdisks:  root@localhost:~# racadm storage get pdisksDisk.Bay.0:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1Disk.Bay.2:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1Disk.Bay.5:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1Disk.Bay.6:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1Disk.Bay.7:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1 the disks I want to convert to raid from non-raid is 3, 4, 5, and 6.   to convert to raid :  racadm storage converttoraid:Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1 (and I do the same for all the disks I want) the command returns success. now I have to create a job to get this done so I'm issuing this :  root@localhost:~# racadm jobqueue create Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Integrated.1-1 --realtimeERROR: SWC0244 : Invalid Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD). so what am I missing here.  I thought the FQDD for the disks is exactly what I provided.   in the help section this comes up :  - Create realtime job for PcieSSDracadm jobqueue create Disk.Bay.6:Enclosure.Internal.0-1 -s TIME_NOW --realtime I tried trimming the FQDD provided all the way down to that but it's still not working.  gives me the same error. can someone shed some light?   Thanks. Sinh

actually might have figured this out.   for the jobqueue create command it's expecting RAID.Integrated.1-1 instead of the actual physical disk FQDD.
