Allows the user to manually create a SMIS managed storage system. This call is applicable to systems that cannot be discovered via an SMI-S provider. Only VNX storage system can be mapped programatically into SMIS Provider. Otherwise this method should be used to reinstall previously decommissioned Arrays.
The method is deprecated. Use /vdc/storage-providers/storage-systems instead.
All parameters are required unless otherwise stated.
