Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies settings of NetApp 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-NetAppInfrastructureVolume cmdlet to get an array of volumes from NetApp storage system.
