PowerCli 5.5 Release 1 snapshots

[GregStz]

I am using powercli to create Snapshot and I have noticed that it creates two snapshots every time .

Any ideas why?

Hi.

hm could you please paste you're command syntax which you're using.

so i tested with 5.5 R1

get-vm xxxx |new-snapshot -name test

(get-vm xxx|get-snapshot |measure-object).count

i get 1 count back.

Get-vm XXXXX | New-Snapshot -Name Xxxxxxx. Is the command I am running and it creates two snapshots

So i personally have only 2 Snapshots once i have more then 1 serviceInstance to that vCenter.

Please check with:

get-view ServiceInstance

if you see more then 1 > process this command

Disconnect-VIServer * -Confirm:$false

then connect again. and try to make new Snapshot. (but check with  get-vm if you get double lines or not)

So as you have a green "Write-Host" on the first line > so guessing right now that it's having something to do with that ones.
