I want use powershell to create a snapvault

but when I use new-ncsnapmirrorpolicy command to create the policy,

I use -type vault parameter,

but it response me a error

PS C:\File> New-NcSnapmirrorPolicy -Name mysmpolicy1 -VserverContext svm2 -Type vault
New-NcSnapmirrorPolicy : [400]: "vault" is an invalid value for field "type" (<async|sync|continuous>)

It tell me just can use async ,sync and continuouse

not vault option

I'm not sure which exact PS module version you are using

Check up the including documentation

Usually it is in ~\Documentation\WindowsPowershel\Modules\.....

I've checked for 9.12.1.2302

 -Type <String>
        The type of the Snapmirror policy.  Possible values: 'vault', 
        'async_mirror', 'mirror_vault', 'sync_mirror'
        
        Required?                    false
        Position?                    named
        Default value                
        Accept pipeline input?       true (ByPropertyName)
        Accept wildcard characters?  false
