    Detailed Description

    This cmdlet adds the selected HPE 3PAR StoreServ 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-HP3Storage or Sync-HP3Volume.

    When adding a storage, you will need to provide either username/password or credentials. Use an appropriate parameter set for each case.
