109 Lifecycle Controller Integration Best Practices Guide
Note the new value of the RaidStatus parameter of the desired physical disk.
14.17 Convert Physical Disk Drives to Non-RAID State
The ConvertToNonRAID() method is used to convert a set of physical disks in RAID state to a state not usable for
RAID. After the method is successfully executed the PendingValue property of RAIDPDState should reflect the pending
changes. After the CreateTargetedConfigJob method is successfully executed the DCIM_PhysicalDiskView.RAIDStatus
property of that physical disk should reflect the new state. One can expect this operation to take up to 15 minutes
depending on system configuration.
Applies to: LC2+
Prerequisites for script: Set desired RAID physical disk FQDD by editing script
Script: ConvertToNonRAID.win
A) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before running any other WSMAN commands.
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()
B) GetControllerViews(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_ControllerView class to view all available RAID FQDDs. See
section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE.
C) GetPhysicalDiskViews(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_PhysicalDiskView class to view all available physical disk
FQDDs. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE.
Note the value of the RaidStatus parameter of the desired physical disk.
D) ConvertToNonRAID(): Invoke this method
E) CreateRAIDConfigJob(): Apply step D) [ReturnValue=4096]
F) Poll jobstatus for Completed: GET the InstanceID of from E). See section 2.3 for a definition of GET.
G) The Lifecycle Controller remote service must be in a “ready” state before running any other WSMAN commands.
GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus()
H) GetPhysicalDiskViews(): ENUMERATE the DCIM_PhysicalDiskView class to view all available physical disk
FQDDs. See section 2.2 for a definition of ENUMERATE.
Note the new value of the RaidStatus parameter of the desired physical disk.
