Snapshots holding by particular data store

[inderraw]

Hi Team mate,

Please help with VMware script, where i can get detail, one specific Data store holding how many snapshot?

required: it would easy to trace if any DS about to full, so we can check that ds only using script.

Is this a vSphere environment, and are you thinking about a PowerCLI script?

Hi,

Please help with script, if anything we can get information about snapshot in  specific DS (vsphere environment).

You mean something like this?

Get-Datastore -PipelineVariable ds |
ForEach-Object -Process {
  $snap = Get-VM -Datastore $ds | Get-Snapshot

  New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property ([ordered]@{
    Datastore = $ds.Name
    SnapshotCount = $snap.Count
    SnapshotSize = [math]::Round(($snap | Measure-Object -Property SizeMB -Sum).Sum,1)
  })
}

if you want to look at a specific datastore, specify the name

Get-Datastore -Name MyDS -PipelineVariable ds |
ForEach-Object -Process {
  $snap = Get-VM -Datastore $ds | Get-Snapshot

  New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property ([ordered]@{
    Datastore = $ds.Name
    SnapshotCount = $snap.Count
    SnapshotSize = [math]::Round(($snap | Measure-Object -Property SizeMB -Sum).Sum,1)
  })
}

Hi Mate,

Thanks for your response, as checked it is showing count of snapshot specific DS, is it possible to know which vm holding snapshot in specific DS?

attached specific DS, snapshot count.

You can add 1 property for that

Get-Datastore -PipelineVariable ds |
ForEach-Object -Process {
  $snap = Get-VM -Datastore $ds | Get-Snapshot

  New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property ([ordered]@{
    Datastore = $ds.Name
    SnapshotCount = $snap.Count
    SnapshotSize = [math]::Round(($snap | Measure-Object -Property SizeMB -Sum).Sum,1)
    VM = $snap.VM.Name -join '|'
  })
}
