16.20 Convert Physical Disk Drives to RAID-ConvertToRAID()
The ConvertToRAID() method is used to convert physical disk drives in Non-RAID state to a state
usable for RAID. After the method is successfully ran the PendingValue property of RAIDPDState
should reflect the pending changes. After the CreateTargetedConfigJob() method is successfully ran
the RAIDStatus property, which is enumerated in the DCIM_PhysicalDiskView from Section 16.9 , of
that physical disk drive should reflect the new state.
Invoke ConvertToRAID() with the following parameters and syntax:
Physical Disk TARGET: Obtained from the FQDD field (Section 16.9)
An example of Disk.Bay.2:Enclosure.Internal.0-0:RAID.Slot.1-1 is shown below.
EXAMPLE:
winrm invoke ConvertToRAID
