How do I trace the lineage chain of a linked block clone?

[chrischrischris]

Hi all,

How do I determine for any given VM if the VM is:

1.   a 'plain VM' (no parents, no children); or,
2.   a VM with a snapshot that is used by a child linked-block clone VM; or,
   1. Then for each snapshot determine all its linked block clone children to the end of the line.
3. a child linked block clone
   1. Then determine all the parents to the first VM and snapshot in the chain.

Any suggestions on where to start?

Thanks!

To start with point 1, did you check How to find Linked clone VMs
