Running PowerShell with Zerto Cmdlets

To run the Zerto cmdlets you must first run the installation package supplied by Zerto.

Note:

You must have both Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2 and Windows PowerShell installed.

To install the Zerto cmdlets:

Make sure that Windows PowerShell is closed.

Run the installation file.

After installing the Zerto cmdlets, either add the cmdlets each time you open the Windows PowerShell, or create a Windows PowerShell profile. The following procedure describes how to add the Zerto cmdlets for every Windows PowerShell session.

To add the Zerto cmdlets to the current session:

•

Open Windows PowerShell with the following arguments:

-NoExit -Command Add-PSSnapIn Zerto.PS.Commands

The Add-PSSnapin cmdlet adds registered Windows PowerShell snap-ins to the current session.

To add the Zerto cmdlets to every session, in the Properties dialog for a PowerShell shortcut specify a Target value similar to the following:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoExit -Command Add-PSSnapIn Zerto.PS.Commands

Note:

You can create a Windows PowerShell profile, as described in the Windows PowerShell Help, to add the snap-in to all future Windows PowerShell sessions.

Each Zerto cmdlet includes help, accessed by entering the Windows PowerShell get-help command:

get-help <cmdlet-name>
