On a Pure FlashArray running the 2.8 (2.08?) API, Get-PFA2ProtectionGroupVolume

On a Pure FlashArray running the 2.8 (2.08?) API, Get-PFA2ProtectionGroupVolume doesn't list volumes for protection groups for which the current array is a target. There doesn't seem to be a Get-PFA2RemoteProtectionGroupVolume counterpart. I'm trying to attach volumes from a snapshot to the DR hosts at the DR site, and I really can't assume I can get the volume list from the source, which might be in a smoldering crater in a scenario. Do I need to get to a later API version, such as 2.16? Would that imply upgarding Purity on the FlashArray? Thanks,

    HI Nick. Apologies but I was working a show last week. Taking an initial look at it, it appears it may be related to a change that was done in the Purity API 2.5, when the Remote PGroup Volume endpoint was exposed, to version 2.9, when it was changed. The API spec no longer shows the volume names, but just the count. I'll take this to Engineering and ask.

    I am still waiting for a response Nick. Sorry for the wait. I did test and API 1.19 does return all volume names, target and source. I cannot yet find an endpoint in 2.x that returns the names, just the counts.

    Thanks, Mike. If nothing else, you've assured me that I understand what I'm seeing. For now, I can wait for the API 2.x series to be updated for this and take on other challenges instead while I wait.
