I am trying to create a RAID 10 with Disk 4 and 5 but keep getting this error....

Hi Prasanth,
Each span in a RAID 10 needs an even number of drives so you would need to specify the drive group as follows
"[4,5][6,7]"
I have 10 drives on a C240, here is how I configured to RAID 10 Virtual Drives
Get-ImcStorageVirtualDriveCreatorUsingUnusedPhysicalDrive | Set-ImcStorageVirtualDriveCreatorUsingUnusedPhysicalDrive -AdminState trigger -size "857353 MB" -DriveGroup "[3,4][5,6]" -RaidLevel 10 -VirtualDriveName "RAID10_3_4_5_6" -WritePolicy "Write Through" -Force
Get-ImcStorageVirtualDriveCreatorUsingUnusedPhysicalDrive | Set-ImcStorageVirtualDriveCreatorUsingUnusedPhysicalDrive -AdminState trigger -size "857353MB" -DriveGroup "[7,8][9,10]" -RaidLevel 10 -VirtualDriveName "RAID10_7_8_9_10" -WritePolicy "Write Through" -Force
Hope that helps
Regards,
John
