Hi Team,
I am Running below command to get know snapshot disk usage
Get-VM -Name | Get-Snapshot | Select-Object Vm, created, SizeMB
The result i am getting different from GUI manage snapshot quite different
One of the VM got 3 snapshot,
1st snapshot disk usage was 600 GB
Second one is 70 GB
Third one is 50 GB
On the powercli result, out put for second and third is correct but for 1st snapshot disk usage, it just showing few mb
The 1st snapshot also showing as children snapshot.
How may i generate an output similar as shown in GUI manage snapshot disk usage
You have to replace that with the name of the VM for which you want to see the snapshots

Try something like this
function Get-SnapshotInfo
{
param(
[VMware.Vim.VirtualMachineSnapshotTree]$Tree
)
$snapInfo = Get-View -Id $Tree.Snapshot
$vm = Get-View -Id $Tree.VM
$entry = $vm.LayoutEx.Snapshot | where{$_.Key -eq $Tree.Snapshot}
$files = $vm.LayoutEx.File | where{($entry.Disk | %{$_.Chain[-1]}).FileKey -contains $_.Key}
New-Object -TypeName PSObject -Property @{
Name = $Tree.Name
Created = $Tree.CreateTime
SizeGB = [math]::Round(($files | Measure-Object -Property Size -Sum).Sum/1GB,2)
}
if($Tree.ChildSnapshotList){
$Tree.ChildSnapshotList | ForEach-Object -Process {
Get-SnapshotInfo -Tree $_
}
}
}
$vm = Get-VM -Name <vmname>
$vm.ExtensionData.Snapshot.RootSnapshotList |
ForEach-Object -Process {
Get-SnapshotInfo -Tree $_
}
