Applies to
Platform: VMware
Product Edition: Standard, Enterprise, Enterprise Plus
Storage System: IBM Spectrum Virtualize, INFINIDAT InfiniBox, Pure Storage, Huawei
Syntax
This cmdlet provides 2 parameter sets.
- For authenticating with the storage using user name and password:
Add-StoragePluginHost -PluginType <String> -Name <String> -UserName <String> -Password <String> [-Description <String>] [-Proxy <IProxy[]>] [-iSCSI [<SwitchParameter>]] [-FibreChannel [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Nfs [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [<CommonParameters>] |
- For authenticating with the storage using credentials:
Add-StoragePluginHost -PluginType <String> -Name <String> -Credentials <CInternalCredentials> [-Description <String>] [-Proxy <IProxy[]>] [-iSCSI [<SwitchParameter>]] [-FibreChannel [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Nfs [<SwitchParameter>]] [-WhatIf [<SwitchParameter>]] [-Confirm [<SwitchParameter>]] [<CommonParameters>] |
Detailed Description
This cmdlet adds Universal Storage API integrated systems to Veeam Backup & Replication. You will need to provide either user name/password or credentials. Use an appropriate parameter set for each case.
When you add a storage, Veeam Backup & Replication automatically rescans the storage infrastructure. To rescan the storage infrastructure manually, run Sync-StoragePluginHost or Sync-StoragePluginVolume.
Parameters
Parameter | Description | Required | Position | Accept | Accept |
PluginType | Specifies the storage plug-in. The cmdlet will use this plug-in for adding the associated storage to Veeam Backup & Replication. | True | Named | False | False |
Name | Specifies the storage IP address or DNS name of the storage you want to add. | True | Named | False | False |
UserName | Specifies the user name 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 |
Credentials | Specifies the credentials you want to use for authenticating with the storage. | True | Named | False | False |
Description | Specifies the description of the storage. | False | Named | False | False |
Proxy | Specifies the array of proxies you want to use to work with this storage. If set, Veeam Backup & Replication will use the selected proxies. If not set, Veeam Backup & Replication will select a proxy automatically. | False | Named | False | False |
iSCSI | Indicates that the storage works over iSCSI protocol. | False | Named | False | False |
FibreChannel | Indicates that the storage works over FibreChannel protocol. | False | Named | False | False |
NFS | Indicates that the storage works over NFS protocol. | False | Named | False | False |
WhatIf | Specifies whether the cmdlet writes a message that describes the effects of running the cmdlet without actually performing any action. | False | Named | False | False |

Example
This example shows how to add IBM Spectrum Virtualize storage to Veeam Backup & Replication.
You will need to perform the following steps:
- Run Get-VBRStoragePlugin to get the list of installed storage plug-ins. To add the IBM Spectrum Virtualize storage system to Veeam Backup & Replication, you will need the IBM plug-in.
- Run Get-VBRCredentials to get the credentials record for the storage. Save the result to the $credentials variable.
- Run Get-VBRViProxy to get the backup proxy that will be used for storage rescan and Backup from Storage Snapshots. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
- Run Add-StoragePluginHost with the $credentials and $proxy variables.
PS C:\PS> Get-VBRStoragePlugin Name Version Description PS C:\PS> $credentials = Get-VBRCredentials -Name "IBM Administrator" PS C:\PS> $proxy = Get-VBRViProxy -Name 172.17.41.34 PS C:\PS> Add-StoragePluginHost -PluginType Ibm -Name 172.17.41.3 -Credentials $credentials -Description "IBM iSCSI" -Proxy $proxy |
