The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 3.9.6

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
apply_time string added in dellemc.openmanage 8.5.0	Apply time of the Volume configuration. `Immediate` allows you to apply the volume configuration on the host server immediately and apply the changes. This is applicable for job_wait. `OnReset` allows you to apply the changes on the next reboot of the host server. apply_time has a default value based on the different types of the controller. For example, BOSS-S1 and BOSS-N1 controllers have a default value of apply_time as `OnReset`, and PERC controllers have a default value of apply_time as `Immediate`. Choices: `"Immediate"` `"OnReset"`
baseuri string / required	IP address of the target out-of-band controller. For example- <ipaddress>:<port>.
block_size_bytes integer	Block size in bytes.Only applicable when state is `present`.
ca_path path added in dellemc.openmanage 5.0.0	The Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file that contains a CA certificate to be used for the validation.
capacity_bytes string	Volume size in bytes. Only applicable when state is `present`.
command string	`initialize` initializes an existing storage volume for a specified volume_id. Choices: `"initialize"`
controller_id string	Fully Qualified Device Descriptor (FQDD) of the storage controller. For example- RAID.Slot.1-1. This option is mandatory when state is `present` while creating a volume.
drives list / elements=string	FQDD of the Physical disks. For example- Disk.Bay.0:Enclosure.Internal.0-1:RAID.Slot.1-1. Only applicable when state is `present` when creating a new volume.
encrypted boolean	Indicates whether volume is currently utilizing encryption or not. Only applicable when state is `present`. Choices: `false` `true`
encryption_types string	The following encryption types can be selected. `ControllerAssisted` The volume is encrypted by the storage controller entity. `NativeDriveEncryption` The volume utilizes the native drive encryption capabilities of the drive hardware. `SoftwareAssisted` The volume is encrypted by the software running on the system or the operating system. Only applicable when state is `present`. Choices: `"NativeDriveEncryption"` `"ControllerAssisted"` `"SoftwareAssisted"`
force_reboot boolean added in dellemc.openmanage 8.5.0	Reboot the server forcefully to apply the changes when the normal reboot fails. force_reboot is applicable only when reboot_server is `true`. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
initialize_type string	Initialization type of existing volume. Only applicable when command is `initialize`. Choices: `"Fast"` ← (default) `"Slow"`
job_wait boolean added in dellemc.openmanage 8.5.0	This parameter provides the option to wait for the job completion. This is applicable when apply_time is `Immediate`. This is applicable when apply_time is `OnReset` and reboot_server is `true`. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
job_wait_timeout integer added in dellemc.openmanage 8.5.0	This parameter is the maximum wait time of job_wait in seconds. This option is applicable when job_wait is `true`. Default: `1200`
name aliases: volume_name string	Name of the volume to be created. Only applicable when state is `present`.
oem dictionary	Includes OEM extended payloads. Only applicable when state is present.
optimum_io_size_bytes integer	Stripe size value must be in multiples of 64 * 1024. Only applicable when state is `present`.
password string	Password of the target out-of-band controller. If the password is not provided, then the environment variable `IDRAC_PASSWORD` is used. Example: export IDRAC_PASSWORD=password
raid_type string added in dellemc.openmanage 8.3.0	`RAID0` to create a RAID0 type volume. `RAID1` to create a RAID1 type volume. `RAID5` to create a RAID5 type volume. `RAID6` to create a RAID6 type volume. `RAID10` to create a RAID10 type volume. `RAID50` to create a RAID50 type volume. `RAID60` to create a RAID60 type volume. raid_type is mutually exclusive with volume_type. Choices: `"RAID0"` `"RAID1"` `"RAID5"` `"RAID6"` `"RAID10"` `"RAID50"` `"RAID60"`
reboot_server boolean added in dellemc.openmanage 8.5.0	Reboot the server to apply the changes. reboot_server is applicable only when apply_timeout is `OnReset` or when the default value for the apply time of the controller is `OnReset`. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
state string	`present` creates a storage volume for the specified I (controller_id), or modifies the storage volume for the specified I (volume_id). “Note: Modification of an existing volume properties depends on drive and controller capabilities”. `absent` deletes the volume for the specified volume_id. Choices: `"present"` `"absent"`
timeout integer added in dellemc.openmanage 5.0.0	The socket level timeout in seconds. Default: `30`
username string	Username of the target out-of-band controller. If the username is not provided, then the environment variable `IDRAC_USERNAME` is used. Example: export IDRAC_USERNAME=username
validate_certs boolean added in dellemc.openmanage 5.0.0	If `false`, the SSL certificates will not be validated.

Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
volume_id string	FQDD of existing volume. For example- Disk.Virtual.4:RAID.Slot.1-1. This option is mandatory in the following scenarios, state is `present`, when updating a volume. state is `absent`, when deleting a volume. command is `initialize`, when initializing a volume.
volume_type string	One of the following volume types must be selected to create a volume. `NonRedundant` The volume is a non-redundant storage device. `Mirrored` The volume is a mirrored device. `StripedWithParity` The volume is a device which uses parity to retain redundant information. `SpannedMirrors` The volume is a spanned set of mirrored devices. `SpannedStripesWithParity` The volume is a spanned set of devices which uses parity to retain redundant information. volume_type is mutually exclusive with raid_type. Choices: `"NonRedundant"` `"Mirrored"` `"StripedWithParity"` `"SpannedMirrors"` `"SpannedStripesWithParity"`
x_auth_token string added in dellemc.openmanage 9.3.0	Authentication token. If the x_auth_token is not provided, then the environment variable `IDRAC_X_AUTH_TOKEN` is used. Example: export IDRAC_X_AUTH_TOKEN=x_auth_token
