Installing Zerto Virtual Replication Cmdlets
Windows PowerShell is a command-line shell running under Windows for system administrators. The Windows PowerShell includes both an interactive command line prompt and a scripting environment. Each can be used independently or they can be used together.
Windows PowerShell is built on top of the .NET Framework common language runtime (CLR), enabling it to accept and return .NET Framework objects.
To run the Zerto Virtual Replication cmdlets you must first run the installation package supplied by Zerto.
Note: You must have both Microsoft .NET Framework 4 and Windows PowerShell installed.
To install the Zerto Virtual Replication cmdlets:
1. Make sure that Windows PowerShell is closed.
2. Run the installation file.
After installing the Zerto Virtual Replication 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 Virtual Replication cmdlets to every Windows PowerShell session.
To add the Zerto Virtual Replication 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.
