You can retrieve the transfer statistics for snapshots of Volumes or Protection Groups. For volumes, use the Get-Pfa2VolumeSnapshotTransfer cmdlet, and for protection groups, use the Get-Pfa2ProtectionGroupSnapshotTransfer cmdlet. Both cmdlets have similar parameters.


PS> Get-Pfa2VolumeSnapshotTransfer -Array $FlashArray -Name 'DEMO-VOL1.TEST'
Name                 : DEMO-VOL1.TEST
Completed            : 8/1/2020 2:38:18 PM
DataTransferred      : 41122875

For protection Group snapshots-


PS> Get-Pfa2ProtectiongroupSnapshotTransfer -Array $FlashArray -Name 'PGDEMO-VOL1.TEST'
Name                 : PGDEMO-VOL1.TEST
Completed            : 8/1/2020 2:44:22 PM
DataTransferred      : 41290179
Destroyed            : False
PhysicalBytesWritten : 40215252
Progress             : 1
Started              : 8/1/2020 2:41:53 PM

Since the Get-Pfa2VolumeSnapshotTransfer and Get-Pfa2ProtectionGroupSnapshotTransfer cmdlets accept pipeline input, you could create a command to post the output from a Get-Pfa2VolumeSnapshot or Get-Pfa2ProtectiongroupSnapshot cmdlet to the same transfer cmdlet for scripting, as shown below.


PS> Get-Pfa2VolumeSnapshot -Array $FlashArray -Name 'DEMO-VOL1.TEST' | Get-Pfa2VolumeSnapshotTransfer

PS> Get-Pfa2ProtectionGroupSnapshot -Array $FlashArray -Name 'DEMO-VOL1.TEST' | Get-Pfa2ProtectionGroupSnapshotTransfer
