Get Snapshot VM Memory Info

[ganapa2000]

Hi,

How can I get the VM Snapshot Memory Info using PowerCLI ?

Get-Snapshot MyVM1 | Select-Object -Property Name, @{N="SizeGB";Expression={"{0:N2} GB" -f ($_.SizeGB)}}, VM, Quiesced, PowerState, Children | Sort-Object -Property SizeGB -Descending | ft -AutoSize

What exactly do you want to see?
If the memory was included in the snapshot?

If you just want to see if the memory was in cluded, True ort False, you could do

Get-Snapshot MyVM1 |
Select-Object -Property Name, @{N="SizeGB";Expression={"{0:N2} GB" -f ($_.SizeGB)}},
  @{N='VM';E={$_.Vm.Name}},
  Quiesced, PowerState,
  @{N='Memory';E={
    $snap = $_
    $snapInfo = $_.VM.ExtensionData.LayoutEx.Snapshot | where{$_.Key -eq $snap.Id}
    $snapInfo.MemoryKey -ne -1
  }},
  Children |
Sort-Object -Property SizeGB -Descending |
Format-Table -AutoSize

LucD,

That worked but sort is not working for SizeGB as I am getting as below.

[LucD · Accepted solution]

That is because that property is a String, you can convert to Int or Float

Get-Snapshot MyVM1 |
Select-Object -Property Name, @{N="SizeGB";Expression={"{0:N2} GB" -f ($_.SizeGB)}},
  @{N='VM';E={$_.Vm.Name}},
  Quiesced, PowerState,
  @{N='Memory';E={
    $snap = $_
    $snapInfo = $_.VM.ExtensionData.LayoutEx.Snapshot | where{$_.Key -eq $snap.Id}
    $snapInfo.MemoryKey -ne -1
  }},
  Children |
Sort-Object -Property {[float]$_.SizeGB} -Descending |
Format-Table -AutoSize
