Why is Get-DPMDatasource not recognised in Powershell? (Using DPM Module)

Question

I am using

Import-Module DataProtectionManager

To have access to DPM cmdlets in powershell. (DPM Version 2012R2)

Unfortunately, Get-DPMDatasource is stating it is an unrecognised cmdlet.

Without getting the Datasource, I am unable to start recovery points, etc.

an example of where I have used this is here:

$ds = Get-DPMDatasource $DPMServer | where { $_.Id -eq $DataSourceID } # Get tthe datasource affected

Also, I have included a picture. the module imports fine. The powershell ISE recognises the cmdlet, but when running there is no recognition?

Answer 1

There is an additional import required for these cmdlets.

Use, Import-Module DPMExtendedCmdlets
