Snapshot information gathering is a time-consuming part of any virtual administrator’s job. Snapshots need to
be managed correctly or they can quickly cause issues within the virtual infrastructure. Within the vSphere
Client, it is hard to get an overview of how many snapshots have been created and how much space they are
using, when they were created, and by whom they were created.
vSphere PowerCLI includes multiple cmdlets to allow you to work with snapshots. To view all snapshots on the
current connection, type
