Script to list snapshot copies of all volumes

[#1]

Im looking for a script that will give me the snapshot copies names, date/time, size, etc for each individual volume on a filer.

Preferably I'd like something exported to excel that would show me:

Volume Name

     Snapshot copy name

     Snapshot copy name

Based on the screen shot the output would be this:

testSM

     hourly.0   

     hourly.1

     nightly.0

     hourly.2

Etc....

Doable?

Justin,

One way to do this is with the data ontap powershell toolkit

Import-Module dataontap

Connect-NcController Mycluster or

          connect-nacontroller filer

Get-NcSnapshot|Export-Csv mysnapshots.csv  or

           Get-NaSnapshot|Export-Csv mysnapshots.csv

You could also limit down the output by specifiy the volume or the svm(vserver) volume name pattern.

Regards

Im familiar with the OnTap toolkit.

It doesnt like the Get-NcSnapshot command:

Get-NcSnapshot : Value cannot be null.

Parameter name: Controller parameter neither specified nor set in $global:CurrentNcController

Here's my script:

Import-Module dataontap

Connect-nacontroller REALFILERNAME -Credential jsmith

Get-NcSnapshot|Export-Csv mysnapshots.csv

[#4]

Looks like thats a cluster mode command?

I think Im figuring it out, Im using the get-nasnapshot command which is for 7 mode. The only thing is, I need it to grab ALL volumes.

Import-Module dataontap

Connect-nacontroller REALFILERNAME -Credential jsmith

Get-NaSnapshot|Export-Csv 'H:\NetApp Scripts\snapshots.csv'

What happens is it asks me for a TargetName for the volumes.

[#5 · Accepted solution]

sorry about that syntax for the cdot is slightly different.

This should do it for you.

Import-Module dataontap

Connect-NaController [filer] -Credential root

get-navol|get-nasnapshot|Export-Csv mysnapshots.csv

[#6]

That seemed to work....

Only thing is it gives me the info bassackwards.

Is there a way to get the TargetName on the first column of the spreadsheet?

Your welcome!

You can format the output with the select command.

get-navol|get-nasnapshot |select TargetName,name,Created|Export-Csv mysnapshots.csv

You can select any of the rows in the header.

Created

Cumulative

AccessTime

AccessTimeDT

Busy

ContainsLunClones

CumulativePercentageOfTotalBlocks

CumulativePercentageOfUsedBlocks

CumulativeTotal

Dependency

Name

PercentageOfTotalBlocks

PercentageOfUsedBlocks

SnapshotOwnersList

TargetName

TargetType

Total

ContainsLunClonesSpecified

Thanks, that worked too... last question.

Here's my current script:

Import-Module dataontap

$Controller = @('filername')

Foreach ($filer in $controller)

{

Connect-nacontroller $filer -Credential jsmith

get-navol | get-nasnapshot | select TargetName,name,Created | Export-Csv 'H:\NetApp Scripts\$filer.snapshots.csv'

}

Im looking for it to save the file with the filername.snapshot. I've tried filername_snapshot and filername.snapshot, but it only gives it the $filer.snapshot name.....

I need script for deleting snapshot more than 32 days in the cluster in CMode.

You should start a new topic to get the best visibility.  With that being said, this should work for you:

Get-NcSnapshot | ?{ $_.Created -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-33) }

Hope that helps.
