Redfish volume schema currently only support RAID 0,1, 5, 10 and 50 (Refer "VolumeType" section on page 545 of below link). As redfish schema only support these volumes iDRAC will also allow to create only these RAID levels using redfish. You can use Racadm or WSMAN interfaces to create RAID 6 or 60.
I don't have a lot of knowledge of the API, unfortunately, but you might check in the API guide that corresponds to your iDRAC firmware revision. For example: https://dell.to/39hDc77

@DELL-Shine K Many thanks yor your reply.
Are there any plans to add the other raid levels as well?
And if so when could the funcitonatlity be expected?
I know it is possible to do so via racadm but we have a multibrand datacenter and want to provision the OOB interfaces in a uniform way.

@DELL-Shine K This has been a while, are there other raid levels supported via redfish (such as 6) now as well?

if you have iDRAC 9 you can install 4.40.00.00 firmware and try. This firmware have support to create RAID 6 and RAID 60
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=62gw1&oscode=wst14&productcode=poweredge-r740xd
sample body for RAID 6
{
"RAIDType":"RAID6",
"Name":"RAID6Vol",
"Drives":
[
{"@odata.id":"/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/RAID.Slot.5-1/Drives/Disk.Bay.4:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.5-1"},
{"@odata.id":"/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/RAID.Slot.5-1/Drives/Disk.Bay.5:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.5-1"},
{"@odata.id":"/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/RAID.Slot.5-1/Drives/Disk.Bay.6:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.5-1"},
{"@odata.id":"/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/RAID.Slot.5-1/Drives/Disk.Bay.7:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.5-1"}

@DELL-Shine K
This seems to work, is it also possible to create multiple virtual drives at once? (via a single POST action)
