STOR060 after ControllerDrivesDecommission on BOSS controller

[krish-nvidia]

On a PowerEdge R770 running iDRAC firmware 1.30.10.50, volume creation on a BOSS controller fails with STOR060 after a ControllerDrivesDecommission. This was working on previous iDRAC firmware versions.

Steps to reproduce

1. Discover BOSS controller by enumerating /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage
2. Disable iDRAC lockdown
3. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/BOSS.Slot.6-1/Actions/Oem/DellStorage.ControllerDrivesDecommission with @Redfish.OperationApplyTime: Immediate
4. Poll job until completion
5. POST ComputerSystem.Reset with ForceRestart
6. GET /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/BOSS.Slot.6-1 to retrieve drives
7. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/BOSS.Slot.6-1/Volumes with Name ("VD_0"), RAIDType, and drive Links

Result

Step 7 returns HTTP 400 with IDRAC.2.16.STOR060: "Configuration operations are not supported on the specified storage controller"

Workaround

POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellRaidService/Actions/DellManager.ResetConfig with {"TargetFQDD": "BOSS.Slot.6-1"} before step 7 allows the volume creation to succeed.

Questions

• Is this a regression in 1.30.10.50?
• Is ResetConfig the recommended way to restore the BOSS controller to a configurable state after ControllerDrivesDecommission?
• Is there a less destructive alternative?

Hi @krish-nvidia

After running DellStorage.ControllerDrivesDecommission action you should not have to run DellManager.ResetConfig first before creating a VD. Based off STOR060 error the controller for unknown reasons was in a state which was unable to accept storage operations.

Before running POST call to create VD, did you confirm the server was out of POST and back into an idle state?

See workflow example below where i was unable to repro this issue using 1.30.10.50 iDRAC.

1. Run DellStorage.ControllerDrivesDecommission action, server will auto reboot. Monitor the job status until marked completed.

Server is out of POST, lifecycle controller is ready, drive is in Ready state. All the checks you suggested are passing, but the volume creation still fails. This system had ControllerDrivesDecommission run previously (job completed successfully). The system was rebooted afterward and is fully idle. Let me know if I can provide any more info!

[texroemer]

Thanks for the details, can you confirm the other drive on the BOSS controller is in ready state. If the other drive is already in online state and is part of a one drive RAID 0 then creating another one drive RAID 0 on the same BOSS controller is not supported.

Hi Tex,

There is only one drive on this BOSS controller and no existing volumes.

Drives on BOSS.Slot.6-1:

Thanks for the details, can you send me output from "/redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/BOSS.Slot.6-1"?

Also is this issue a single unit failure or have you seen it on multiple servers?

[krish-nvidia]

I've seen this behavior twice on just this unit so far.

Since only single unit issue so far can you reboot this iDRAC and see if you can repro the issue.

Thanks

Hey Tex,

I tried a BMC reset which didn't work. I ended up doing an AC powercycle and the volume creation succeeded! Closing this ticket for now and will open a new one if it comes up again.

Thanks!

Hi Tex,

Unfortunately, we hit the same error when decomissioning / creating a storage volume after the AC powercycle workaround so I have to reopen this issue. Here is the full list of what is done to the host prior to receiving the error:

1. GET /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1 — Read host power state to decide whether PowerCycle starts with power-off or power-on.

2. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset {"ResetType": "ForceOff"}

3. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset {"ResetType": "On"}

4. PATCH /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellAttributes/iDRAC.Embedded.1 {"Attributes": {"Lockdown.1.SystemLockdown": "Disabled"}}

5. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset {"ResetType": "ForceRestart"} — Reboot the host so it PXE boots into the cleanup image

6. Cleanup image executes these commands on the bare metal:

   • nvme id-ctrl /dev/nvmeX -o json for each NVMe controller
   • nvme list-ns /dev/nvmeX -a to enumerate namespaces
   • nvme format /dev/nvmeX -s2 -f -n <nsid> — crypto-erase each namespace
   • nvme delete-ns /dev/nvmeX -n <nsid> — delete namespace (if namespace mgmt supported)
   • nvme create-ns /dev/nvmeX --nsze=<sectors> --ncap=<sectors> --flbas <idx> --dps=0 — recreate a clean namespace
   • nvme attach-ns /dev/nvmeX -n <nsid> -c <cntlid> — attach the new namespace

7. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset `{"ResetType": "ForceRestart"}

8. GET /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage — Enumerate storage controllers, find the one whose @odata.id contains "BOSS"

9. PATCH /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellAttributes/iDRAC.Embedded.1 {"Attributes": {"Lockdown.1.SystemLockdown": "Disabled"}} — Unlock iDRAC again for BOSS storage operations.

10. POST /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellLCService/Actions/DellLCService.GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus — Verify Dell Lifecycle Controller is "Ready" before issuing storage commands.

11. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/<boss_controller_id>/Actions/Oem/DellStorage.ControllerDrivesDecommission {"@Redfish.OperationApplyTime": "Immediate"} — Secure-erase all drives behind the BOSS controller and destroy the existing RAID volume. Returns a job ID.

12. GET /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/Jobs/<jid> — Poll the secure erase job until Completed

13. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Actions/ComputerSystem.Reset {"ResetType": "ForceRestart"}

14. GET /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/<boss_controller_id> — Read the Drives array to determine drive count (1 drive = RAID0, 2 drives = Mirrored/RAID1).

15. POST /redfish/v1/Managers/iDRAC.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellLCService/Actions/DellLCService.GetRemoteServicesAPIStatus — Verify Lifecycle Controller readiness before volume creation.

16. POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/<boss_controller_id>/Volumes {"Name": "VD_0", "RAIDType": "Mirrored", "Links": {"Drives": [...]}}

Fails at step 16 with the following error:

Failed redfish operation: create_storage_volume. Details: HTTP 400 Bad Request at

Thanks for the update and able to repro the issue. Issue looks to be with DellStorage.ControllerDrivesDecommission action is not clearing the controller correctly and will need iDRAC debug logs collected to debug the issue.

Since this is a product issue can you go ahead and escalate this to Dell tech support so they can help debug and collect logs.

Thanks
Tex
