Examples

Example 1: List every PCI

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

Example 2: Retrieve one PCI by uuid

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

Example 3: Retrieve one PCI by reference

PS> Get-XenPCI -Ref OpaqueRef:f433bf7b-2b0c-5f53-7018-7d195addb3ca
Retrieves a single PCI. -Ref takes the opaque reference, which is what the API itself uses and what the records hold.
