Describe the bug.

On a PowerEdge R770 running iDRAC firmware 1.30.10.50, volume creation on a BOSS controller fails with STOR060: Configuration operations are not supported on the specified storage controller after a ControllerDrivesDecommission. This was working on previous iDRAC firmware versions.

Steps to reproduce

• Discover BOSS controller by enumerating /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage
• Disable iDRAC lockdown
• POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/BOSS.Slot.6-1/Actions/Oem/DellStorage.ControllerDrivesDecommission with @Redfish.OperationApplyTime: Immediate
• Poll job until completion
• POST ComputerSystem.Reset with ForceRestart
• GET /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/BOSS.Slot.6-1 to retrieve drives
• POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Storage/BOSS.Slot.6-1/Volumes with Name ("VD_0"), RAIDType, and drive Links

Workaround

POST /redfish/v1/Systems/System.Embedded.1/Oem/Dell/DellRaidService/Actions/DellManager.ResetConfig with {"TargetFQDD": "BOSS.Slot.6-1"} allows the volume creation to succeed.

Dell support is engaged and is actively investigating this issue. Opening this bug as a means to track the workaround in NICo (and to remember to remove it after a newer iDRAC FW fixes it).
