Is it possible to script adding a storage provider in vCenter?

brianoc — Tue, 20 Jan 2015 13:55:38 GMT

I have tried using Onyx to capture the commands used but nothing seems to register in Onyx when adding a VASA provider. I have also searched through the API guides and dont see anything obvious. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks!
