Problems integrating Spectrum Virtualize with Windows Server 2016 Virtual Machine Manager

1) Open a VMM powershell console and issue the following command to enable TLS1.1/TLS1.2:

[System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol=
    [System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12,[System.Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls11

2) Create a shell variable $runas containing the Run As Account to connect to the storage system

2.1) Create a new Run As Account for $runas using the following CLI commands in powershell
$userName="suepruser" #user name to manage the storage
$password="passw0rd" #password to manage the storage
$pswSecStr=ConvertTo-SecureString -String $password -AsPlainText -Force
$cred=New-Object pscredential ($userName,$pswSecStr)
$runas=New-SCRunAsAccount -Name svc.superuser -Credential $cred -Description "passw0rd"

2.2) Use an existing Run As Account for $runas using the following CLI commands in powershell
$runas=Get-SCRunAsAccount -Name <existing run as account name>

3) Run $runas to verify the $runas is correct and not empty

expected output:
<# output

4) Use powershell to create the storage provider using the following command:

Add-SCStorageProvider -Name V7k71 -RunAsAccount $runas -NetworkDeviceName 
          https://<CLUSTER IP ADDRESS OF STORWIZE>-TCPPort 5989

expected output:

5) Switch to the VMM console, open the Job view, and verify the provider has been added
