Examples

Example 1: List every HostPatch

PS> Get-XenHostPatch
Retrieves every HostPatch object in the pool. With no parameters the cmdlet fetches the whole collection.

Example 2: Retrieve one HostPatch by name

PS> Get-XenHostPatch -Name "Demo HostPatch"
Retrieves a single HostPatch. -Name matches on name\_label, which is not unique, so every match is operated on.

Example 3: Retrieve one HostPatch by uuid

PS> Get-XenHostPatch -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Retrieves a single HostPatch. -Uuid is the way to be sure of exactly one object.
