Add-NetAppHost
Short Description
Adds NetApp storage systems to Veeam Backup & Replication.
Applies to
Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus
Syntax
This cmdlet provides the following parameter sets:
- To add storage systems by username and password
Add-NetAppHost -Name <string> -UserName <string> -Password <string> [-Description <string>] [-IsHTTP <bool>] [-Port <int>] [-Proxy <IProxy[]>] [-MountServer <CHost>] [-iSCSI] [-NFS] [-FibreChannel] [-SkipRescan] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>] |
- To add storage systems by credentials
Add-NetAppHost -Name <string> -Credentials <CInternalCredentials> [-Description <string>] [-IsHTTP <bool>] [-Port <int>] [-Proxy <IProxy[]>] [-MountServer <CHost>] [-iSCSI] [-NFS] [-FibreChannel] [-SkipRescan] [-WhatIf] [-Confirm] [<CommonParameters>] |
Detailed Description
This cmdlet adds selected NetApp storage systems to backup infrastructure.
When you add storage systems to your backup infrastructure, Veeam Backup & Replication performs a rescan of storage systems. During the rescan Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves information about the storage system topology and adds storage volumes to the backup infrastructure.
For more information about the rescan, see the Adding Storage Systems section of the User Guide for VMware vSphere.

Use the SkipRescan parameter to skip the automatic rescan. To rescan storage systems manually, use the following cmdlets:

Parameters
Parameter | Description | Required | Position | Accept | Accept |
Name | Specifies the storage IP address or DNS name. | True | Named | False | False |
Description | Specifies the description of the storage. | False | Named | False | False |
UserName | Specifies the username that you want to use for authenticating with the storage. | True | Named | False | False |
Password | Specifies the password you want to use for authenticating with the storage. | True | Named | False | False |
IsHTTP | If set to TRUE, HTTP protocol will be used to connect to the NetApp storage. Otherwise, HTTPS protocol will be selected. By default, HTTPS is used. | False | Named | False | False |
Port | Sets a port used to connect to the NetApp storage. By default, port 443 is used. | False | Named | False | False |
Credentials | Specifies the credentials you want to use for authenticating with the storage. | True | Named | False | False |
Proxy | Specifies an array of proxies you want to use with this storage. If set, Veeam Backup & Replication will use the selected proxies. If not set, Veeam Backup & Replication will use automatic proxy selection. | False | Named | False | False |
MountServer | Specifies the mount server that you want to use to work with this storage. | False | Named | False | False |
iSCSI | Indicates that the storage works over the iSCSI protocol. | False | Named | False | False |
NFS | Indicates that the storage works over the NFS protocol. | False | Named | False | False |
FibreChannel | Indicates that the storage works over the FibreChannel protocol. | False | Named | False | False |
SkipRescan | Indicates that the cmdlet will not start the storage rescan automatically after you add storage systems to the backup infrastructure. | False | Named | False | False |
WhatIf | Defines that the cmdlet will write a message that describes the effects of running the cmdlet without actually performing any action. | False | Named | False | False |
Confirm | Defines that the cmdlet will ask if the user accepts the TLS certificate thumbprint that is installed on the NetApp storage. | False | Named | False | False |

Example
This example shows how to add a NetApp storage system to backup infrastructure using credentials.
- Run Get-VBRCredentials to get a credentials record for the storage system. Save the result to the $credentials variable.
- Run Get-VBRViProxy to get a backup proxy that will be used for storage rescan and for Backup from Storage Snapshots. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
- Run Add-NetAppHost with the $credentials and $proxy variables.
$credentials = Get-VBRCredentials -Name "NetApp Administrator" $proxy = Get-VBRViProxy -Name 167.16.21.25 Add-NetAppHost -Name 167.16.2.134 -Credentials $credentials -Proxy $proxy -Description "NetApp Storage" |
