Getting all physical drive data via HP iLo 5 locfg (XML)

Question

I'm creating a tool in golang to parse the XML returned from approx 150 HPE DL360 Gen 10 servers, and then send over to ElasticSearch. However, I'm finding discrepancies in the data depending on the method I use to obtain it.

A test server has 2x 120GB SSDs RAID1 in Bay 1 & Bay 2, and 2 unconfigured disks in Bay 3 & Bay 4. From the web GUI, all disks are visible under "Physical View" - great!

Web GUI:

-  Physical Drive in Port 1I Bay 1
Status   OK
Serial Number   CVLT7461007W120GGN
Model   INTEL SSDSC2KW12
Media Type  SSD
Capacity    120 GB
Location    Port 1I Bay 1
Firmware Version    LSF042C
Drive Configuration Configured
Encryption Status   Not Encrypted
Power On Hours  261
Estimated Life Remaining Based on Workload to Date  1,077 Days
Life Remaining  
99%

-  Physical Drive in Port 1I Bay 2
Status   OK
Serial Number   CVLT7395028Q120GGN
Model   INTEL SSDSC2KW12
Media Type  SSD
Capacity    120 GB
Location    Port 1I Bay 2
Firmware Version    LSF042C
Drive Configuration Configured
Encryption Status   Not Encrypted
Power On Hours  597
Estimated Life Remaining Based on Workload to Date  2,463 Days
Life Remaining  
99%

-  Physical Drive in Port 1I Bay 3
Status   OK
Serial Number   WGS6JRHL
Model   ST1000LM049-2GH1
Media Type  HDD
Capacity    1000 GB
Location    Port 1I Bay 3
Firmware Version    SDM1
Drive Configuration Unconfigured
Encryption Status   Not Encrypted

-  Physical Drive in Port 1I Bay 4
Status   OK
Serial Number   CVLT6286067J120GGN
Model   INTEL SSDSC2KW12
Media Type  SSD
Capacity    120 GB
Location    Port 1I Bay 4
Firmware Version    LSF042C
Drive Configuration Unconfigured
Encryption Status   Not Encrypted
Power On Hours  399
Estimated Life Remaining Based on Workload to Date  1,646 Days
Life Remaining  
99%

However if I try to get the same data using the locfg utility I'm only getting data for disks that are part of a logical volume ("Configured"):

/usr/bin/perl locfg.pl -s [IP] -f Get_EmHealth.xml -u [user] -p [pass] ilo5

Contents of Get_EmHealth.xml:

<RIBCL VERSION="2.23">
  <LOGIN USER_LOGIN="adminname" PASSWORD="password">
    <SERVER_INFO MODE="read">
      <GET_EMBEDDED_HEALTH>
        <GET_ALL_STORAGE/>        
      </GET_EMBEDDED_HEALTH>
    </SERVER_INFO>
  </LOGIN>
</RIBCL>

Output:

      </PHYSICAL_DRIVE>
    </LOGICAL_DRIVE>
  </CONTROLLER>
  <DISCOVERY_STATUS>
    <STATUS VALUE = "Discovery Complete"/>
  </DISCOVERY_STATUS>
</STORAGE>

Does anyone know why Non-Configured disks would be absent, and if there's a way to remedy this?

I've tried power cycling the server, and also running the locfg command with and without the "ilo5" option - same results every time.

Thanks
