[danscorpio]

Hello All

I do not have much knowledge of Powershell but I'm trying to create a snapshot in vcloud.link-connect.com with below script but I'm getting an error as term "Connect-CIServer is not recognized.

I would really appreciate if you could help me fix this issue. please find my script below.

if ( !(Get-Module -Name VMware.VimAutomation.Core -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) ) {

"C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\Infrastructure\vSphere PowerCLI\Scripts\Initialize-PowerCLIEnvironment.ps1"

}

$srv= connect-CIServer -Server vcloud.link-connect.com -user xx -Password xxx -Org xxx

$vm10 = Get-CIvm "xxxx"-

$vm10.ExtensionData.RemoveAllSnapshots()

$vm10.ExtensionData.CreateSnapshot($null,$null,"$null","$null")

Many Thanks

Dan

What version of PowerCLI are you using?  Latest versions, you'd have to:

import-module VMware.VimAutomation.Cloud

or

import-module vmware.powercli

You can use $vm.ExtensionData.RevertToCurrentSnapshot() to revert to the current snapshot.
