Initiator alias fails as invalid in host module

Hello -

I am having difficulty assigning initiator aliases using the host module.  The host initiators list for the host module fails to accept initiator aliases.  I have tried all combinations of quotes, double quotes, not quotes, escape the slash, spaces between the hostname, slash and port name.  It indicates the initiator alias is invalid.

playbook task:

- name: Create Initiator Group "{ { ig_name }}"
dellemc.powermax.host:
<<: *uni_connection_vars
host_name: "{ { host_name }}"
initiators: "{ { host_initiators }}"
state: 'present'
initiator_state: 'present-in-host'

vars_files host_initiator list:

host_initiators:
- 10000000cabffaee
- 'ANSIBLE/FAEE'
# - 10000000cccffaef
# - 'ANSIBLE/FAEF'

play output:

TASK [Create Initiator Group "ANSIBLE_IG"] *********************************************************************************

Thank you!
