I understand you are receiving the above error message. I confirmed that this is caused by VM Inspector not having the Storage Account set. The registerStorageConfiguration is part of the API process to set this. You can also easily do this in the portal by selecting Settings and selecting the storage account.
We are working to improve the clarity of this in the documentation. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions or issues.
