Description

The Get-SCStorageArray cmdlet gets a storage array object from the Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) database.

You must install the storage provider on an available computer prior to discovering the storage resources.

For more information about configuring storage, see Configuring Storage in VMMhttp://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=212013 in the Microsoft TechNet library at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=212013.
