"New-HXRunbook Cmdlet" in Cisco Hyperflex

[AkashMeghani45264]

Hello All,

I want to automate HX replication and VM restoration process. I have installed the respective package in powershell by running the following command :

Install-Module -Name Cisco.HXPowerCLI

It installs the package successfully but does not show me HXRunbook cmdlets. 

It does not give any output when i run the following command :

get-module -name Cisco.Runbook 

My power shell version is 5.1 , Can anyone point out if i am missing anything ?

Thanks in advance !!

Thank you for your reply.

Yes i get the same output as yours but i want to leverage New-HXRunbook cmdlet which is mentioned in cisco document :

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/hyperconverged_systems/HyperFlex_HX_DataPlatformSoftware/HyperFlex_PowerShell_Toolkit/4_0/b_Cisco_HyperFlex_PowerShell_Cmdlets_for_Disaster_Recovery_4_0/b_Cisco_HyperFlex_PowerShell_Cmdlets_for_Disaster_Recovery_...

I don't see this cmdlet in the package , can you please confirm if you see that or I am missing something.

Thanks in advance

It lists that as a function vs a cmdlet:

PS C:\Windows\system32> new-HXRunbook -recoveryMode TestRecovery -ProtectedSiteClusterIP

Sometimes using the Windows ISE and import-Module Cisco.HXPowerCLI , the GUI gives a fairly nice list of parameters.

yes I see that in ISE.

Thank you for the help
