```

Perform the following steps:

1. Run the `Get-VBRStoragePlugin` cmdlet. To add the IBM Spectrum Virtualize storage system to Veeam Backup & Replication, you will need the IBM Plug-in.
2. Run the [`Get-VBRCredentials`](get-vbrcredentials.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$credentials` variable.
3. Run the [`Get-VBRViProxy`](get-vbrviproxy.md) cmdlet. Specify the `Name` parameter value. Save the result to the `$proxy` variable.
4. Run the [`Add-StoragePluginHost`](add-storagepluginhost.md) cmdlet. Specify the following settings:

   - Set the `Ibm` option for the `PluginType` parameter value.
   - Specify the `Name` parameter value.
