1. Connect ReFS and NTFS volumes to SERVER01.


PS C:\> New-PfaHostVolumeConnection -Array $FlashArray -VolumeName 'ReFS' -HostName 'SERVER08'
PS C:\>New-PfaHostVolumeConnection -Array $FlashArray -VolumeName 'NTFS' -HostName 'SERVER08'

vol  name     lun
---  ----     ---
ReFS Server08   1
NTFS Server08   2

If the volumes need to be visible to a cluster of Windows Server hosts then they need to be connected to a Host Group. The following steps show how to create a Host Group, add a Host, and then connect the volume to the Host Group.


PS C:\> New-PfaHostGroup -Array $f -Hosts 'SERVER08' -Name 'HOSTGROUP1'
PS C:\> New-PfaHostGroupVolumeConnection -Array $f -VolumeName 'ReFS1' -HostGroupName 'HOSTGROUP1'
PS C:\> New-PfaHostGroupVolumeConnection -Array $f -VolumeName 'NTFS1' -HostGroupName 'HOSTGROUP1'

hosts      name      
-----      ----      
{SERVER08} HOSTGROUP1
           HOSTGROUP1
           HOSTGROUP1
            
PS C:\>Get-PfaHostGroupVolumeConnections -Array $f -HostGroupName 'HOSTGROUP1' | Format-Table -AutoSize

vol   name       lun
---   ----       ---
ReFS1 HOSTGROUP1 254
NTFS1 HOSTGROUP1 253
