Hello

According to the online help [1] , the command is very simple but I can not make it work, this is the output:

How do you get the value of $snapvol variable?
It seems that it has an incorrect type.

Hi , thanks for the reply.
The variable snapvol the get:

PS C : \ Users \ veeamadmin > $ snapvol = "Dell_esx_B"

But eventually publish with variable with the name of the LUN get the same error

PS C:\Users\veeamadmin> Add-HP3Snapshot -Volume "Dell_esx_B" -Name "Dell_esx_B_SS_1" -Description "snapshot 1"
Add-HP3Snapshot : Cannot bind parameter 'Volume'. Cannot convert the "System.Linq.Enumerable+WhereA

Do you have the storage containing this volume in the list of added to Backup console?
If yes, you should get the volume by name like that:

Code: Select all

$snapvol = Get-HP3Volume | where {$_.name -match "Dell_esx_B"}

You could also specify additional parameters if you have several volumes with that name.

If not, you should add it's storage first, either via Backup console or via Powershell commandlet

Code: Select all

Add-HP3Storage
