Instructions

During the RAID array creation, we must add a name for the virtual disk: 
 

Example: RAID NAME
 

RAID creation


Once we confirm and "Add to pending" jobs: 
 

Add to pending jobs 
We get the following error:

Warning message 


 

Solution: 

In order to avoid the error, name the Virtual Disk and avoid using spaces between words. Example: 

"RAID_NAME" or "RAIDNAME" since spaces are not allowed. An additional option is leaving the name in blank, and autoname populates it once virtual disk is created. 

 

Example: 
 

RAID name



Create Virtual Disk 

Setup Virtual Disk 

Notes:
  • Autoname assigns a name as follows: Virtual Disk 0, Virtual Disk 1, Virtual Disk 2…Virtual Disk n." Autoname does allow spaces in its preconfigured naming. 
  • The error is similar to what is in Lifecycle controller. Go to F2 > Device settings > Dell PERC HXXXX Adapter configuration utility > Configuration management > Create Virtual Disk > Virtual disk name: 
 

Ok message
