Symptoms

Errors reported while creating traditional pool using two different drive types from Dell EMC Unity GUI running OE code 5.2 are shown below:
"The wrong number of drives was supplied for the specified RAID configuration, or the number of drives did not match the default RAID configuration for the drives in the drive group. Error: Code (0x6700171)"


While trying to create the pool with different disk types the following error is expected:

uemcli -d <IP Address> -u Local/admin -p <Password> /stor/config/pool create -name <Pool Name> -diskGroup dg_26 -drivesNumber 45 -storProfile tprofile_2 -type traditional

uemcli -d <IP address> -u admin -securepassword /stor/config/profile -traditional -configurable show -storProfile tprofile_1, tprofile_19 -type traditional

Please input your selection (The default selection is [1]): Operation failed. Error code: 0x1000401
The object was not found with "Pool0". (Error Code:0x1000401)

 

Cause

The traditional pool creation from GUI is not achievable from Dell EMC Unity OE code 5.2.0, the same can be configured only via CLI method using uemcli.
 

Resolution

As a first step, traditional pool with only flash drive or highest available tier (drive type) should be configured, once the pool has been successfully created it can be expanded further from Unisphere with either SAS or NL SAS disk.

Steps to configure traditional pool via CLI:

  1. uemcli /stor/config/dg show      >>Shows the Disk Groups available in the system 
  2. uemcli /stor/config/profile -traditional -configurable show >> Shows the profiles available in the system
  3. uemcli -d <IP Address> -u Local/admin -p <Password> /stor/config/pool create -name <Pool Name> -diskGroup <disk_group> -drivesNumber < drive_number > -storProfile tprofile_x -type traditional
