Examples

Example 1: Delete a NetworkSriov piped from the getter

PS> Get-XenNetworkSriov -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff | Remove-XenNetworkSriov
Deletes a NetworkSriov. The object is piped in, which is the usual way once you already have it.

Example 2: Delete a NetworkSriov by uuid

PS> Remove-XenNetworkSriov -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff
Deletes a NetworkSriov. -Uuid is the way to be sure of exactly one object.

Example 3: See what would be deleted

PS> Get-XenNetworkSriov -Uuid 1871ac51-ce6b-efc3-7fd0-28bc65aa39ff | Remove-XenNetworkSriov -WhatIf
Reports the NetworkSriov that would be deleted without deleting anything. Every cmdlet that changes the server takes -WhatIf and -Confirm.
