vRanger Console overview

vRanger uses Windows PowerShell® with a Quest snap-in to provide scripting access to vRanger features and functions. This feature lets vRanger integrate with other data protection solutions and offers an efficient configuration option for advanced users.

The snap-in includes the vAPI cmdlets required to create and manage jobs and view relevant information data reading your virtual environment.

For more information on PowerShell, see https://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn425048.aspx.

Configuring the vRanger Console

The vRanger installer automatically installs Windows PowerShell® 1.0 and the vAPI snap-in during the product installation. Before using the vAPI cmdlets, you must first configure the PowerShell execution policy to run the vRanger scripts. This process is a one-time configuration that does not need to be repeated.

To configure the vRanger Console:
1
Click Start > All Programs > Quest > vRanger Backup & Replication > vRanger Console.

When opening the vRanger Console for the first time, you see an error message stating that the execution of scripts is disabled on your system. This issue is due to the default PowerShell execution policy, which must be enabled.

When the vRanger Console restarts, you should see a screen with a blue background and a list of vAPI cmdlets.

The vRanger vAPI is now configured and ready for use.
