ILOrest error when creating a raid

[Sylwek60]

I'm working on a DL325 G11 with an ILO6 and I'm trying to create a RAID0 on 2 SSDs with ILOrest but I'm getting an error message :

iLORest > createvolume volume RAID0 1:2:2,1:2:1 --controller 22 --storageid DE041000 --url 10.10.1.5 -u USERID -p XXXXXXXX

No error message returned or unable to parse error response.
An invalid response body was returned: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)ERROR : iLO threw iLOResponseError

Can anyone help me?

Hi,

I would suggest to use latest ilo and smartarray controller firmware and ilorest tool 4.6.0.

Below the example command/output

iLORest > login xx.xxx.xxx.xx -u xxxxxxxx -p xxxxxxx
Discovering data...Done
iLORest > createvolume volume RAID1 2:1:3,2:1:4 --controller=0 --storageid=DE00B000
CreateVolume path and payload: /redfish/v1/Systems/1/Storage/DE00B000/Volumes, {'Links': {'Drives': [{'@odata.id': '/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Storage/DE00B000/Drives/3'}, {'@odata.id': '/redfish/v1/Systems/1/Storage/DE00B000/Drives/4'}]}, 'RAIDType': 'RAID1'}
The operation completed successfully.
Volume created successfully

Thank you Sebasbin for your reply
yes, after updating the server (Ilo 1.52 -> 1.55°, the command goes through without a hitch

Hmm, I'm running current firmware and it seems I'm doing everything correctly but something is askew:
