Updates the cache of the service for a particular provider and associated child objects.

The Update-StorageProviderCache cmdlet updates the cache of the service for a particular provider and associated child objects.
Note: Using the Full value for the DiscoveryLevel parameter without using additional parameters to limit the scope to particular storage providers or storage subsystems
causes all accessible storage providers to enumerate and report all state information, which can be extremely time intensive in large environments.

Example 1: Perform a Full update of all objects
PS C:\>Update-StorageProviderCache -DiscoveryLevel Full
This example performs a Full update of the storage provider cache on all accessible storage providers, rescanning all associated physical disks and reporting the state. This
operation can be extremely time intensive in large or enterprise environments; instead use parameters to scope the update.
Example 2: Update PhysicalDisk objects for a particular storage provider
PS C:\>Update-StorageProviderCache -StorageSubSystem (Get-StorageSubSystem -FriendlyName "StorageArray*") -DiscoveryLevel Level3
This example uses the StorageSubsystem parameter in association with the Get-StorageSubSystem cmdlet to get a particular storage subsystem and then perform a Level3 update
on its associated storage provider, discovering all associated PhysicalDisk objects.
Example 3: Update all objects for a specific storage pool
PS C:\>Update-StorageProviderCache -Name "StorageArray" -RootObject ([ref](Get-StoragePool "Storage pool"))
This example uses the Name parameter to specify the storage provider to update, and uses the RootObject parameter to specify the specific storage pool for which to update
objects. Because RootObject takes PSReference objects as input, you need to prepend the object call with [ref] to get a reference to the object instead of the object itself.
