PS 5.1 is a hard requirement for me ticket

Please leave a comment on this ticket if PS5.1 is a hard requirement and you are unable to swap to PS7. If there is sufficient community interest I can look into backporting the common libraries.

Anyone using Nutanix cmdlets to manage their Nutanix environment cannot upgrade to PS7 or it will break all their scripts. Nutanix has not converted their cmdlets over to full fledged modules and still use snapins. There does not seem to be any effort on Nutanix's part to make this switch any time soon either. I personally am managing over 700 nodes via PowerShell with the Nutanix cmdlets and cannot upgrade PowerShell to PS7 because of it.

Hello, don't know if this is still possible (I know I have a very niche problem) but every machine i work on and can connect to the OME appliance i use have PS 5.1 and can't install PS 7. A backport would be highly appreciated and very useful. Thanks and regards.

@AndreaTordin - is there a specific requirement driving PS instead of Ansible (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/dellemc/openmanage/index.html)? That's the main reason this project was put into maintenance, in the vast majority of use cases Ansible was a better fit. Internal to Dell, there's also now a full time dedicated to taking care of the Ansible repos.

This one has admittedly been more fluid, there was an initial dev effort, I ended up taking over it, but I've since moved on to a different position so it's not super likely this is going to see major updates unless someone else internal to Dell with development experience has the cycles to do it.
