redfish_storage_volume (Resource)
This Terraform resource is used to configure virtual disks on the iDRAC Server. We can Create, Read, Update, Delete the virtual disks using this resource.
Note:
capacity_bytes
andvolume_type
attributes cannot be updated.

Schema
Required
drives
(List of String) This list contains the physical disks names to create the volume within a disk controllerredfish_server
(Block List, Min: 1) This list contains the different redfish endpoints to manage (different servers) (see below for nested schema)storage_controller_id
(String) This value must be the storage controller ID the user want to manage. I.e: RAID.Integrated.1-1volume_name
(String) This value is the desired name for the volume to be givenvolume_type
(String) This value specifies the raid level the virtual disk is going to have. Possible values are: NonRedundant (RAID-0), Mirrored (RAID-1), StripedWithParity (RAID-5), SpannedMirrors (RAID-10) or SpannedStripesWithParity (RAID-50)
Optional
capacity_bytes
(Number) capacity_bytes shall contain the size in bytes of the associated volume.disk_cache_policy
(String) disk_cache_policy shall contain a boolean indicator of the disk cache policy for the Volume.optimum_io_size_bytes
(Number) optimum_io_size_bytes shall contain the optimum IO size to use when performing IO on this volume.read_cache_policy
(String) read_cache_policy shall contain a boolean indicator of the read cache policy for the Volume.reset_timeout
(Number) reset_timeout is the time in seconds that the provider waits for the server to be reset(if settings_apply_time is set to “OnReset”) before timing out. Default is 120s.reset_type
(String) Reset type allows to choose the type of restart to apply when settings_apply_time is set to “OnReset"Possible values are: “ForceRestart”, “GracefulRestart” or “PowerCycle”. If not set, “ForceRestart” is the default.settings_apply_time
(String) Flag to make the operation either “Immediate” or “OnReset”. By default value is “Immediate”volume_job_timeout
(Number) volume_job_timeout is the time in seconds that the provider waits for the volume job to be completed before timing out.Default is 1200swrite_cache_policy
(String) write_cache_policy shall contain a boolean indicator of the write cache policy for the Volume.
Read-Only
id
(String) The ID of this resource.
Nested Schema for redfish_server
Required:
endpoint
(String) This field is the endpoint where the redfish API is placed
Optional:
password
(String) This field is the password related to the user givenssl_insecure
(Boolean) This field indicates if the SSL/TLS certificate must be verifieduser
(String) This field is the user to login against the redfish API
