In Lenovo XClarity Administrator, when deploying a server pattern that includes local storage settings which define creation of a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) volume, and the node type selected for deployment included an LSI IR 2004 controller (x240, x440, and x220 with IR add-on card) the deployment will be reported as a success, but in fact after the system is restarted, the volume will not be created.

RETAIN Tip: H214566
Symptom
In Lenovo XClarity Administrator, when deploying a server
pattern that includes local storage settings which define creation
of a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) volume, and the
node type selected for deployment included an LSI IR 2004
controller (x240, x440, and x220 with IR add-on card) the
deployment will be reported as a success, but in fact after the
system is restarted, the volume will not be created.
Affected Configurations
The system is configured with at least one of the following:
- Lenovo XClarity Administrator, 1.0.0
This tip is not system specific.
This tip is not option specific.
The LSI IR 1.20 firmware for the LSI IR 2004 controller is
affected.
Note: This does not imply that the network
operating system will work under all combinations of hardware and
software.
Please see the compatibility page for more information:
http://www.ibm.com/systems/info/x86servers/serverproven/compat/us/
Solution
This behavior was resolved by Lenovo XClarity Administrator
FixPack 1.0.1.
The file is available by selecting the appropriate Product
Group, type of System, Product name, Product machine type, and
Operating system on IBM Support's Fix Central web page, at the
following URL:Â Â Â
Workaround
Users will need to use alternative tool for RAID volume
creation, including UEFI, Option ROM, or ASU, etc.
(where UEFI = Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, ROM = Read
Only Memory, ASU = Advanced Settings Utility)
Additional Information
If users update to the 1.20 LSI firmware, they will be unable to
use Configuration Patterns to deploy and create RAID volumes.
Configuration Patterns will accommodate the LSI firmware changes in
the next release of Lenovo XClarity Administrator.
