Syntax

This cmdlet provides parameter sets that allow you to:

Add Nutanix Files storage systems by user name and password.

Add-VBRNutanixHost -Name <string> -UserName <string> -Password <string> [-Description <string>] [-Port <int>] [-NASProxy <VBRNASProxyServer[]>] [-SkipRescan] [-Force] [-NASSMB] [-NASNFS] [-NASCreateRulesAutomatically] [<CommonParameters>]

Add Nutanix Files storage systems by credentials.

Add-VBRNutanixHost -Name <string> -Credentials <CInternalCredentials> [-Description <string>] [-Port <int>] [-NASProxy <VBRNASProxyServer[]>] [-SkipRescan] [-Force] [-NASSMB] [-NASNFS] [-NASCreateRulesAutomatically] [<CommonParameters>]

Detailed Description

This cmdlet adds Nutanix Files storage systems to the backup infrastructure.

When you add storage systems to your backup infrastructure, Veeam Backup & Replication performs rescan of storage systems. During the rescan operation Veeam Backup & Replication retrieves information about the storage system topology and adds storage volumes to the backup infrastructure. For more information about rescan, see the Adding Storage Systems section of the User Guide for VMware vSphere.

Tip:

Provide the SkipRescan parameter to skip the automatic rescan operation.

To rescan storage systems manually, use the following cmdlets:

Run Sync-VBRNutanixHost to rescan of the entire storage system.
Run Sync-VBRNutanixVolume to rescan Nutanix Files volumes added to backup infrastructure.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Type	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input
Name	Specifies a storage system IP address or DNS name.	String	True	Named	False
UserName	Specifies the user name that you want to use for authentication to the storage system.	String	True	Named	False
Password	Specifies the password you want to use for authentication to the storage system.	String	True	Named	False
Credentials	Specifies the credentials that you want to use for authentication to the storage system.	Accepts the CInternalCredentials object. To get this object, run the Get-VBRCredentials cmdlet.	True	Named	False
Description	Specifies a description of the storage system.	String	False	Named	False
Port	Specifies the port used to connect to the storage system.	Int	False	Named	False
NASProxy	Specifies the array of proxies you want to use.	Accepts the VBRNASProxyServer object. To create this object, run the Add-VBRNASProxyServer cmdlet.	False	Named	False
SkipRescan	Defines that the cmdlet will not start storage rescan automatically after you add storage systems to the backup infrastructure.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
Force	Defines that the cmdlet will add the storage system without showing warnings in the PowerShell console.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
NASSMB	Defines that the storage system will work over the SMB protocol.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
NASNFS	Defines that the storage system will work over the NFS protocol.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False
NASCreateRulesAutomatically	Defines that the cmdlet will allow Veeam Backup & Replication to automatically create required SMB and NFS export rules in the storage system. If you provide this parameter, the rules will be created automatically in case the proxies are unavailable. If you do not provide the parameter and use the NFS protocol, the rules will not be created, and you must create the rules manually in the Nutanix Files storage system. For the SMB protocol, no actions are required.	SwitchParameter	False	Named	False

This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see Microsoft Docs.
