 #### Using Inventory Paths
 Using familiar UNIX-style paths, one could select e.g. VM2 with the path ```/DC0/vm/VM2```.

+Often, we want to select a group of resource, such as all the VMs in a folder. We could use the path ```/DC0/vm/Folder1/*``` for that.
 
 Another possibility is to select objects using a partial name, such as ```/DC0/vm/Folder1/hadoop*``` yielding all vms in Folder1 with a name starting with "hadoop".
