You do not have to be connected to the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage system to add volumes
to Windows.

To use SmartStart to format volumes as Windows disks, you must use Microsoft NTFS.

If you have started a new SmartStart session, you must be able to supply the IP address or
name of the Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows Server 2012 host system.

You can either assign the virtual volumes to an available drive or mount an empty NTFS folder.
