Snapins for Versions 5.x and 7.x Script Examples
Dell Storage Center Command Set 7.x allows you to have snapins for versions 5.x and 7.x loaded at the same time to accommodate
cmdlet modications. The following script examples demonstrate using the
Add-PSSnapin cmdlet when migrating from version 5.x to
7.x.
• The script examples are written to run in a PowerShell console; you must explicitly load the Storage Center snapins. If scripts are
run from a Dell Storage Center Command Set Shell, one of the snapins will already be loaded (depending on the version of the
Command Set Shell run) and the script examples will have to be modied appropriately.
• If a script needs only one version of the snapin, only that snapin should be loaded.
• If a script needs both versions of the snapin, they can be loaded one at a time or at the same time.
NOTE: If both snapins are loaded at the same time, cmdlets duplicated in both versions should be fully qualied with the
snapin name.
