Verification

PowerShell will create a folder for each new version of any module you install. It’s a good idea to check and see what version(s) you have installed and running in the session. To begin, let’s see what versions of the Rubrik Module are installed:

Get-Module -ListAvailable Rubrik

The -ListAvailable switch will pull up all installed versions from any path found in $env:PSModulePath. Check to make sure the version you wanted is installed. You can safely remove old versions, if desired.

To see which version is currently loaded, use:

Get-Module Rubrik

If nothing is returned, you need to first load the module by using:

Import-Module Rubrik

If you wish to load a specific version, use:

Import-Module Rubrik -RequiredVersion #.#.#.#

Where “#.#.#.#” represents the version number.
