get-snapshot | set-vm -snapshot

[wanax1]

Hi Friends,

I want to get snapshot of the vm then revert the vm with the snapshot.

But set-vm get erros in the script. How can do it?

$vm = Get-Folder -id Folder-group-v337 | Get-Vm -NoRecursion | where {($_ | Get-VMGuest).State -eq "NotRunning"}

get-snapshot -VM $vm -Name Baseline | set-vm -VM $vm

$vm | move-vm -Destination (Get-Folder -id Folder-group-v335)

Any suggestion is appreciate.

Since you didn't include the error message you're getting, I'll have to guess.

But it looks as if it could be related to arrays and the -Snapshot parameter on the Set-VM cmdlet.

The $vm variable can be an array containing multiple VirtualMachineImpl objects if the folder holds more than 1 guest where the VMware Tools are not running.

In this case the Get-Snapshot cmdlet can potentially return an array of SnapshotImpl objects.

But the Set-Vm cmdlet can only accept 1 SnapshotImpl object on the -Snapshot parameter (which in your script is passed via the pipeline).

To avoid this potential problem you could use a Foreach-Object cmdlet to loop through all the VirtualMachineImpl objects.

 Get-Folder -id Folder-group-v337 | Get-Vm -NoRecursion | where {($_ | Get-VMGuest).State -eq "NotRunning"} | %{
   get-snapshot -VM $_ -Name Baseline | set-vm -VM $_
   $_ | move-vm -Destination (Get-Folder -id Folder-group-v335)
}

Perfect. It can work.

Thanks for your great help.
