Using the vRanger Console

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.

2

At the prompt, type the following command, and press Enter.

Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned


	NOTE: PowerShell and vAPI commands are not case-sensitive.

3

When the prompt re-appears, close and re-open the vRanger Console.

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.

vRanger vAPI Cmdlets

The vRanger PowerShell snap-in includes the following cmdlets.
