The verbose output shown indicates that six threads are being used for Find-HPOA, which lists
each address being checked, and then three threads in the Get-HPOAPower command. (This
threading enables multiple commands to multiple OAs to be sent at the same time.) The pipeline
then sends to Add-Member twice and for each item adds the –Username and –Password
parameters to the returned objects that represent the OAs found. These are piped to Connect-HPOA
which makes the connection object array of the three OAs found.
Those are in turn passed through to Get-HPOAPower which uses those connections and requests
the power information from each OA. The final results are the power information for the three OAs
