Detailed Description

This cmdlet adds ESXi servers to the Veeam Backup & Replication managing console.

If an ESXi host is a part of a vCenter Server, it is recommended to add the vCenter Server instead of a single ESXi host.

When adding a new ESXi server, you will need to provide either a user name and password or credentials. Use an appropriate parameter set for each case.
