racadm and PowerEdge VRTX CMC: Fully Qualified Descriptor (FQDD) for Physical disks are not recognized.

Hello, I am experiencing an inconsistent behavior from racadm utility while issuing "createvd" against the shared PERC8.

If I try to get physical disks descriptions, racadm returns the entire list of FQDD of pdisks

> racadm -r 172.24.0.100 -u root -p calvin raid get pdisks
Security Alert: Certificate is invalid - Certificate is not signed by Trusted Third Party
Continuing execution. Use -S option for racadm to stop execution on certificate-related errors.

Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1

Disk.Bay.6:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1

Disk.Bay.2:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1
Disk.Bay.11:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1











Success

But if I try to issue a createvd sub-command, FQDD are reported as invalid.

Any command that includes a pdkey list

> racadm -r 172.24.0.100 -u root -p calvin raid createvd:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1 -rl r50 -sc 3 -pdkey:Disk.Bay.0:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.2:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.5:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.6:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.6:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.7:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1, Disk.Bay.8:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1 -dcp enabled -name:DATASTORE -current

is getting back an error message

STOR009 : Physical disk FQDD did not identify a valid physical disk for the operation. 

Am I missing anything?

As far I can see racadm and createvd syntax is correct.

Thanks.

Re-issuing the mentioned command with a different syntax fixed the problem.

For your convenience here is the correct command prompt:

racadm -r 172.24.0.100 -u root -p calvin raid createvd:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1 -rl r50 -sc 3 -pdkey:Disk.Bay.0:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.1:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.2:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.3:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.5:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.6:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.7:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1,Disk.Bay.8:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.ChassisIntegrated.1-1 -dcp enabled -name:DATASTORE -current -wp wb -rp ara

You can also shorten the command further and build the pdkey using just number references as so: -pdkey:0:0:0,0:0:1,0:0:2,0:0:3,0:0:4,0:0:5,0:0:6,0:0:7,0:0:8,0:0:9,0:0:10,0:0:11,0:0:12,0:0:13 Regards, Steve
