Detailed Description

This cmdlet adds the selected HPE StoreVirtual storage to Veeam Backup & Replication.

When you add a storage to your management console, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically rescans the storage infrastructure. To rescan the storage infrastructure manually, run Sync-HP4Storage or Sync-HP4Volume.

When adding a storage, you will need to provide either username/password or credentials. This cmdlet provides syntax for both scenarios accordingly.
