Using Get-View

Use Get-View to access vSphere Management API view objects with PowerCLI.

The Get-View cmdlet operates on the low level and binds directly to the vSphere Management API objects. You can use this cmdlet for high-performance automation as it overrides the PowerCLI high-level architecture.

You can use Get-View in combination with Get–VIObjectByVIView to retrieve the PowerCLI variant of a vSphere Management API view object.
