Examples

Example 1: List every PVSSite

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

Example 2: Retrieve one PVSSite by name

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

Example 3: Retrieve one PVSSite by uuid

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