So, the part you're tripping up on is using the DSC Resource module name
(StorageDsc) for the DSC Resource name (Disk). You can take your existing
DSC Configuration script and turn it directly into a Puppet manifest by
keeping the DSC Resouce names like so:
dsc_disk{ 'GVolume':
dsc_diskid => 2
dsc_driveletter => 'G'
dsc_size => 10GB
}
dsc_disk{ 'JVolume':
dsc_diskid => 2
dsc_driveletter => 'J'
dsc_fslabel => 'Data'
}
dsc_disk{ 'SVolume':
dsc_diskid => 3
dsc_driveletter => 'S'
dsc_size => 100GB
dsc_fsformat => 'ReFS'
dsc_allocationunitsize => 64KB
}
This uses the same labels as the DSC Configuration script, just moves them
into Puppet syntax places, and adjusts the parameter names to follow the
Puppet dsc module convention.
