Examples
Example 1: List every DriverVariant
PS> Get-XenDriverVariant
Retrieves every DriverVariant object in the pool. With no parameters the cmdlet fetches the whole collection.
Example 2: Retrieve one DriverVariant by uuid
PS> Get-XenDriverVariant -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Retrieves a single DriverVariant. -Uuid is the way to be sure of exactly one object.
Example 3: Retrieve one DriverVariant by reference
PS> Get-XenDriverVariant -Ref OpaqueRef:f433bf7b-2b0c-5f53-7018-7d195addb3ca
Retrieves a single DriverVariant. -Ref takes the opaque reference, which is what the API itself uses and what the records hold.
