Powershell script to sell all Snapshot

Francois lepage — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 18:39:17 GMT

I want to use powershell to list all snapshot beginning by Ncss on all volumes

I can't find how to do it for all volumes but I am able to do it for one volumes with this command

Get-NSSnapshot -vol_name "NMBL-DBEX-SIEGESOCIAL" | where {$_.name -match "NSs"}

Is it possible to achieve my goal

thanks

Hello Francois,

There are several ways to script this. Here is an example, where we first get volumes, and then pass the output through a foreach loop. In the sample below, I am focusing on volumes that have 2017-06-09 in the snapshot name.

Dianne

Sample script
Connect-NSGroup -Credential $nm_cred -group $nsarray $volname = Get-NSVolume \| Select-Object -Property "name" $snaplist = @() foreach ($name in $volname) { $res = Get-NSSnapshot -vol_name $name.name \| where { $_.name -like "2017-06-09" } \| select name, id $snaplist += $res } Write-Output $snaplist

Sample script

Connect-NSGroup -Credential $nm_cred -group $nsarray

$volname = Get-NSVolume | Select-Object -Property "name"

$snaplist = @()

foreach ($name in $volname)

{

$res = Get-NSSnapshot -vol_name $name.name | where { $_.name -like "*2017-06-09*" } | select name, id

$snaplist += $res

}

Write-Output $snaplist

Dang, She beat me to it..

From the CLI, this will check all volumes, and all snaps of those volumes;

Get-NSVolume | foreach-object { get-nssnapshot -vol_name $_.name | where {$_.name -match "MyTestString" } }
