Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies settings of HPE StoreVirtual storage systems. When you modify storage system settings, the cmdlet automatically rescans storage systems.

Note

To modify settings, specify new values for the necessary parameters. The cmdlet will overwrite the previous parameters values with new values. The parameters that you omit will remain unchanged.

Tip

You can specify the scope of volumes that you want to rescan with the VBRVolumeScanType parameter.

Run the Get-HP4InfrastructureVolume cmdlet to get an array of volumes from HPE StoreVirtual storage systems.

This example shows how to exclude the specified HPE StoreVirtual storage volumes from the rescan session.

$storage = Get-HP4Storage -Name "HPE StoreVirtual VSA"

$volumes = Get-HP4InfrastructureVolume -Name "Volume4", "Volume5", "Volume1"

Set-HP4Storage -Host $storage -VolumeScanType Exclude -ExcludedVolume $volumes

Perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Get-HP4Storage cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $storage variable.
  2. Run the Get-HP4InfrastructureVolume cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $volumes variable.
