I'm not sure that option can be changed with ilorest, but can be scripted using hpssacli. If you haven't yet you might want to look at the HPE Scripting Toolkit https://www.hpe.com/us/en/product-catalog/detail/pip.scripting-toolkit-for-windows-and-linux.5219389.html

to go further

• To switch between pass-through and RAID 0 modes on HPE storage controllers:

# esxcli hpssacli cmd -q “controller slot= modify hbamode=<on/off> forced”

• To create a single disk RAID 0 set: # esxcli hpssacli cmd -q “controller slot= create type=ld drives= raid=0"
