Issues while creating volumes using 'createvolume' on ilorest 6.0 and ilorest 6.1 #115
Description
Hi,
I've identified a issue while creating volumes through ilorest 6.0 and 6.1. To you have some idea for version 5.2 doesn't matter the order of creation - this one makes any sense - works as expected.

Now for ilorest 6.0 and ilorest 6.1 if I create the RAID 6 before the RAID 1 I wasn't able to create the RAID1 - so I need to remove RAID6, create the RAID1 and then create the RAID6 again.
ILOREST 6.0 and ILOREST 6.1

Are you sure you would like to continue deleting all volumes? (y/n)y
