Im trying to set up 3 x raid sets via ansible and Dell Idrac .

Radi 1 Livedb Drive - on SSD drives of the on Board raid controller
Raid 5 Archive - on remaining HDD drives on board raid Controller.

Im having difficulty in ID the Controllers and Drives to select

Could we know what is your issue or what do you need ?
I mean you’re pasting your yaml code without any result/error code or something.
Sorry but it’s tough to guess your needs..

Moreover, there’s a whole example that seems to do what you need here :

This is what the code returns - Im trying to find all Controlled with Disks I know the RAID.SL.3-1 Has 4 20TB HDD’s and 2 SSD’s on it but will not list.

Im trying to automate the raid setup for the raids.

the AHCI is the Boss Card. - it will be the main Boot drive. (raid 1)
