R730xd iDRAC8 unable to manage storage
PE R730xd w/ updated BIOS, firmware, etc. When using the iDRAC web UI and attempting to manage the storage on a PERC H730P we are alerted that...
RAC0659: Unable to perform the storage configuration operation(s) on PERC H730P Mini (Embedded) because a job is currently pending or is running on the device.
Wait for the job to completely run, or delete the job, and then retry the operation.To view the status of the scheduled jobs, go to the Job Queue page of iDRAC.
Similar errors are seen in different sections of the iDRAC Storage UI...
STOR023: Unable to perform configuration operations because a configuration job for the device already exists. Wait for the current job for the device to complete or cancel the current job before attempting more configuration operations on the device.
While working with Dell Support we have...
- racadm racreset
- Performed a NVRAM reset
- racadm racresetcfg
- re-flashed the iDRAC/LC firmware
- Cleared jobs via System Setup
Anything that we do yields the same results. We are able to perform RAID configuration via the LC interface when using the virtual console, and we are able to manage everything else on the system.
I would appreciate any assistance in getting this resolved.

You could try with the Dell Troubleshooting Tool to clear the LC job log.
Not sure if you have the installer but here is a link to the installer.

Thank you for the pointer. While this took works rather well, it did not solve the problem. There are no jobs in the iDRAC, even though it "thinks" there are. I dont know where it's getting that information. The only think I can think of is that the LC sent a job to the RAID controller which never completed and the LC is reporting back to the iDRAC there is still a job.

Have you tried to shutdown the machine and disconnect the power for a minute?

Hello,
Alternatively if you are looking for managing storage as such, you can choose to use OMSA. It requires OS though. You can give it a try if you cant resolve this iDRAC way of managing.

I am having the same issue and I'm besides myself confused on this one.
Going to make a support ticket with dell unless you have had any luck?

I am also having this issue on a Dell R730XD. I am currently unable to perform any configuration jobs as the LC claims that jobs exist. Previous failed jobs were removed, so there are currently none.

Hi MARKGODDARD86,
Thank you for reaching out to us in dell community. Can you try below command from any windows client OS and let us know if it helped.

Thanks for getting back to me about this issue. I resolved the problem by resetting the lifecycle controller to factory defaults using the lifecycle controller GUI via the virtual console. It took a lot of time to get to this solution and clearly isn't an ideal solution.
Regards,
Mark

I am also having the same problem.
I resolved the problem by running reset on the lifecycle controller.
Resetting the iDRAC, BIOS, and clearing RAID config is not enough.
Do we have any other solutions that doesn't involve resetting via lifecycle controller?
Thanks
