How Use passthrough to a directly access attached disk (volumes) on the
host. I have RAID5 with 10x500GB disk with two volumes on it. It is Disk
E: and F: on the host. How to make this volumes visible to the guest..
Guest is Windows 2003R2 Server.
Is it possible that data on the disk will visible both to host and guest?

Yes and no, first off, only whole disks (not just partitions) can be
mapped to a VM, and second, those disk(s) need to be marked as offline
for a Hyper-V VM to be able to use it.

If those e: and f: are the only thing on that RAID set, you may be
able to use it as a "Whole disk". I don't have a similar setup to test
that on though...

When those conditions are met, it actually works quite well.
