Configure FlashArray Host and Volume

PS C:\> $ServerIQN = (Get-InitiatorPort | Where-Object { $_.NodeAddress -like '*iqn*' }).NodeAddress

PS C:\> $ServerIQN
iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:server01

2. Connect to the FlashArray and configure a host and the host port. In this step a new host is created, Server01, and the IQN is assigned using the $ServerIQN variable that was populated in Step 1.

Using PowerShell SDK version 1.x

# Using the PowerShell SDK version 1.x
PS C:\> $FlashArray = New-PfaArray -EndPoint 10.0.0.1 -Credentials (Get-Credential) -IgnoreCertificateError

cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:

PS C:\> New-PfaHost -Array $FlashArray -Name 'Server01' -IqnList $ServerIQN

iqn                                  wwn name 
---                                  --- ---- 
{iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:server01} {}  Server01

Using PowerShell SDK version 2.x

# Using the PowerShell SDK version 2.x
PS C:\> $FlashArray = Connect-Pfa2Array -EndPoint 10.0.0.1 -Credential (Get-Credential) -IgnoreCertificateError

cmdlet Get-Credential at command pipeline position 1
Supply values for the following parameters:

PS C:\> New-Pfa2Host -Array $FlashArray -Name 'Server01' -Iqns $ServerIQN
Name             : Server01
Chap             : class Chap {
                     HostPassword:
                     HostUser:
                     TargetPassword:
                     TargetUser:
                   }

Iqns             : {iqn.1991-05.com.microsoft:sn1-r720-e04-05.ale.local}

                   }

Wwns             : {}
IsLocal          : True

3. Create a volume on the FlashArray and connect to the host, Server01, from Step 2.

Using PowerShell SDK version 1.x

# Using the PowerShell SDK version 1.x
PS C:\> New-PfaVolume -Array $FlashArray -VolumeName 'iSCSI-TestVolume' -Unit G -Size 500

size    : 536870912000

PS C:\> New-PfaHostVolumeConnection -Array $FlashArray -VolumeName 'iSCSI-TestVolume' -HostName 'Server01'

vol  : iSCSI-TestVolume
name : Server01
lun  : 1

Using PowerShell SDK version 2.x

# Using the PowerShell SDK version 2.x
PS C:\> New-Pfa2Volume -Array $FlashArray -Name 'iSCSI-TestVolume' -Provisioned 536870912000
Id                      : 40af952b-b047-94d2-9bb9-ca8cd9560a64

ConnectionCount         : 0

PS C:\> New-Pfa2Connection -Array $FlashArray -VolumeNames 'iSCSI-TestVolume' -HostNames 'Server01'
Host             : class ReferenceNoId {
                     Name: Server01
                   }

HostGroup        : class ReferenceNoId {
                     Name:
                   }

Lun              : 1
ProtocolEndpoint : class Reference {
                     Id:
                     Name:
                   }

Volume           : class FixedReference {
                     Id: 40af952b-b047-94d2-9bb9-ca8cd9560a64
                     Name: iSCSI-TestVolume
                   }

The completed view from the FlashArray management interface shows the host, volume and host ports set.
