Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies settings of HPE Nimble 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 parameter 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-NimbleInfrastructureVolume cmdlet to get an array of volumes from HPE Nimble storage systems.

This example shows how to specify a backup proxy for rescan and backup from Storage Snapshots on a HPE Nimble storage system.

$storage = Get-NimbleHost -Name "HPE Nimble-FC"

$proxy = Get-VBRViProxy -Name "LocalProxy"

Set-NimbleHost -Host $storage -Proxy $proxy

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-NimbleHost cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $storage variable.
Run the Get-VBRViProxy cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $proxy variable.
Run the Set-NimbleHost cmdlet. Set the $storage variable as the Host parameter value. Set the $proxy variable as the Proxy parameter value.

Set-NimbleHost Example 2. Excluding HPE Nimble Volumes from Rescan

This example shows how to exclude HPE Nimble volumes from the rescan.

$storage = Get-NimbleHost -Name "HPE Nimble-FC"

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

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

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-NimbleHost cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $storage variable.
Run the Get-NetAppInfrastructureVolume cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $volumes variable.
Run the Set-NimbleHost cmdlet. Set the $storage variable as the Host parameter value. Set the Exclude option for the VolumeScanType parameter. Set the $volumes variable as the ExcludedVolume parameter value.

Set-NimbleHost Example 3. Rescanning All Volumes Added to HPE Nimble Storage System

This example shows how to rescan all volumes added to an HPE Nimble storage system.

$storage = Get-NimbleHost -Name "HPE Nimble-FC"

$volumes = Get-NetAppInfrastructureVolume -Host $storage

Set-NimbleHost -Host $storage -VolumeScanType Include -Included $volumes

Perform the following steps:

Run the Get-NimbleHost cmdlet. Specify the Name parameter value. Save the result to the $storage variable.
Run the Get-NetAppInfrastructureVolume cmdlet. Set the $storage variable as the Host parameter value. Save the result to the $volumes variable.
Run the Set-NimbleHost cmdlet. Set the $storage variable as the Host parameter value. Set the Include option for the VolumeScanType parameter. Set the $volumes variable as the Included parameter value.
