Hi.
You find a solution? same error
Looks most likely like the WinPE on the USB drive does not include a storage driver for the hard drive type in the machine. The easiest way to check is to CTRL-C out of the rbagent.bat script, which will drop you onto the command prompt, and use ‘diskpart’ to see whether the hard drive is visible.
If you are missing a storage driver, you can add drivers through the Driver Library, then you’ll need to regenerate the USB drive.
I had logged a case with IBM Support.
They provided me a new rbagent.exe and copied that to the OSD folder in the server and recreated the USB media.
The issue was happening because after the diskpart run in the OSD task, it will create the partitions defined and later the task is not able to get the drive letters which made in the disk part action.
This was a bug in the software and the bigfix developers were involved in the case.They told me they will release a new patch and this will be fixed in that.
I am not sure they release it or not.
You can register a support case and fix it by them as the rbagent exe and some other files provided by them is not publicly available for fix.
