Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies settings of Dell VNX 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-VNXInfrastructureVolume cmdlet to get an array of volumes from Dell VNX storage systems.
