Is there a simple way to get all snapshot paths ?

[Najtsob]

I have tree of snapshot like this

snap1
     |

     ----------|----------|
             snap2   snap3
                                 |--------------|
                            snap4         snap5  

How can I get all paths to the leafs ot this tree ?

Like:

/snap1/snap2
/snap1/snap3/snap4
/snap1/snap3/snap5

Thank you very much.

Perhaps not exactly what you are looking for but my UML diagram your VM, vdisks and snapshots post maps the snapshots graphically in an UML: diagram.

Seriously, you can use the RootSnapshotList and a recursive function to list the tree structure.

That code is available in the UML post.

Let me know if you want a text output only version ?

I need text only version, but I think I would found something in your example.

This is a quick-and-dirty script that should give you the snapshot paths

function Get-SnapList{
    param($snap,$path)

    $path += "/" + $snap.Name 
    if($snap.ChildSnapshotList){
        $snap.ChildSnapshotList | %{
            Get-SnapList $_ $path        }
    }
    $path
}

$vmName = "MyVM" 
$vm = Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine -Filter @{"Name"=$vmName}

if($vm.Snapshot){
    $report = $vm.Snapshot.RootSnapshotList | %{
        Get-SnapList $_ ""    }
}

$report
