I was trying to migrate from JBOD to RAID1. I have the proceedure but seem to be stuck on Step 15. The difference is that instead of drive 0 being the drive that was deleted, I deleted drive 1. It will not let me create the new RAID0 configuration. vmhba0:C0:T0:L0 is the drive with the Data and vmhba0:C0:T1:L0 is the drive I removed.
 
Here are the commands that I used.
raid-cli>logdrv
ID    RAID Disks  Stripe   Size MB          DiskID Name
 0    JBOD     1     N/A  476940.02             (1) JBOD on port 01 (00)
 1    JBOD     1     N/A  476940.02             (2) JBOD on port 02 (00)
raid-cli>logdrv -a del -l 1
ID    RAID Disks  Stripe   Size MB          DiskID Name
 0    JBOD     1     N/A  476940.02             (1) JBOD on port 01 (00)
raid-cli>logdrv -a add -p 1 -e 1 -z "raid=raid0,name=RAID1,init=quick"
Failed to create the specified array.
raid-cli>logdrv                                                      
ID    RAID Disks  Stripe   Size MB          DiskID Name
 0    JBOD     1     N/A  476940.02             (1) JBOD on port 01 (00)
 
What am I doing wrong?

raid-cli>logdrv -a add -p 2 -e 1 -z "raid=raid0,name=RAID1,init=quick"
Invalid parameters defined
raid-cli>logdrv -a add -p 2 -e 0 -z "raid=raid0,name=RAID1,init=quick"
raid-cli>logdrv
ID RAID Disks Stripe Size MB DiskID Name
0 JBOD 1 N/A 476940.02 (1) JBOD on port 01 (00)
1 RAID0 1 128 476837.12 (2) RAID1
raid-cli>
That seemed to get that portion but now I get this error while trying to create the Datastore in vSphere

An error occurred during host configuration

Call "HostDatastoreSystem.QueryVmfsDatastoreCreateOptions" for object "ha-datastoresystem" on ESXi "10.8.127.51" failed.

Hi Scott,

I think physical drive should be 2.

logdrv -a add -p 2 -e 1 -z "raid=raid0,name=RAID1,init=quick"

Thanks,
Raghavendra
