Script creation for all snapshots for all volumes in the cluster

joshid4

Hi Team,

I am looking for a script via which I can list snapshots on all volumes in a cluster/vserver.

I am new to scripting, hence looking for your guidance and support.

Kindly help and let me know if this can be done.

Using ONTAP PowerShell Module, simplest one:
PS C:\> Get-NcSnapshot | Export-Csv "C:\temp\$($filer).snapshots.csv"

Selected fields:
PS C:\> Get-NcSnapshot | Select Name,Volume,Vserver | Export-Csv "C:\temp\$($filer).snapshots.csv"

Just look up in the netapp forum, there are many examples (for automation) not just limited to PS. One such basic PS thread example is this:

I believe this is just to list the snapshots under the cluster.

However, I would need to understand this from very beginning.

For example: Logging into the cluster via providing the IP address and having the script authenticated.

Then logging into the cluster and listing the snapshots.

Therefore, I had provided the links. Please see TR-4475, it covers everything from beginning, concept to installation steps.
