Powershell - New-NSVolume does not work

[jrich52352]

Close powershell, delete the module file, download v2, DO NOT run the

install, just open ps and import it

[Terry Zolinski]

The reason I ran the installer is because this is the error I got when I just imported the module:

PS C:\Users\terry> New-NSClone

New-NSClone : Unable to find type [snap]. Make sure that the assembly that contains this type is loaded.

Did you unblock the zip after downloading?

[Terry Zolinski]

It wasn't blocked. I just downloaded V2 again and it's not blocked.

[jrich52352]

If you run the install it will grab v1 and overwrite what you downloaded.

[Terry Zolinski]

I just downloaded V2 again from the site. Was not blocked. Extracted, cleared out my powershell directory, copied these in, did not run install.ps1:

PS C:\Users\terry> $snap = Get-NSSnapShot | where {($_.name -match "test")}

So i just pushed a new snap.ps1 file that updates the namespace. The old dll didnt have a namespace so references were jsut like new-object vol.. which, could be a problem.. so i added namespace to the new dll, so its more like, new-object nimble.vol

I thought all of those had been fixed and pushed, but apparently not.

also i find it odd that the DLL commit/date make it seem like thats the old DLL.. clearly not the case if its requiring the Nimble namespace addition

Downloaded the new zip, it wasn't blocked. Still erroring on assembly

So, I've determined that my issues were related to the specific build of the Nimble OS we were running. At the time this did not work we were running 2.2.5.0-197583-opt. Now we are on 2.2.8-252438-opt and this works as expected, no errors on assembly.
