`` This cmdlet supports Microsoft PowerShell common parameters. For more information on common parameters, see [ Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_commonparameters?view=powershell-7). ## Output Object The cmdlet returns the `CCiscoHxHost` object that defines settings of the HyperFlex storage systems added to the backup infrastructure. ## Examples ::: example ### Modifying Cisco HyperFlex Storage Systems Credentials This example shows how to modify Cisco HyperFlex credentials. ``` $host = Get-HyperFlexHost $creds = Get-VBRCredentials Set-HyperFlexHost -Host $host -Credentials $creds ``` Perform the following steps: 1. Run the `Get-HyperFlexHost` cmdlet. Save the result to the `$host` variable. 2. Run the `Get-VBRCredentials` cmdlet. Save the result to the `$creds` variable. 3. Run the `Set-HyperFlexHost` cmdlet. Set the `$host` variable as the `Host` parameter value. Set the `$creds` variable as the `Credentials` parameter value. ::: ## Related Commands - [`Get-HyperFlexHost`](get-hyperflexhost.md) - [`Get-VBRCredentials`](get-vbrcredentials.md) - [`Get-VBRViProxy`](get-vbrviproxy.md)
