Cleanup Nutanix Snapshots After # Amount Of Days
Quick blog post. The PowerShell script is selfexplaining 😉 You can schedule this on a secure server to run periodically or run this manually when needed. There is a password in the script so use with caution.

<# This script checks the Nutanix cluster for available snapshots (Protection Domain snapshots are not part of the check). The list of snapshots is checked against the $DeleteAfterDays and is the snapshot is older then the given days it will be deleted. Cleanedup space is freed after curator has done his magics ;) Please change $DeleteAfterdays, $DryRun, $PrismElementIP, $UserName, $Password to match your needs. The $DryRun can be $True or $False. When it is $True no real snapshots will be deleted. Remove the "-password" in the connect string and the script will ask for you password. ;) Make sure the powershell cmdlets are installed.
