## Notes

- This cmdlet requires a connection to a Proxmox VE server. Use `Connect-ProxmoxServer` to establish a connection.
- If the `-RawJson` parameter is specified, the raw JSON response will be returned instead of parsed objects.
- If the `-VMID` parameter is specified and the VM is not found, an error will be thrown.

## Examples

### Example 1: Get all VMs

```powershell
$connection = Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Credential (Get-Credential)
$vms = Get-ProxmoxVM -Connection $connection
```

This example gets all VMs from all nodes.

### Example 2: Get VMs on a specific node

```powershell
$connection = Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Credential (Get-Credential)
$vms = Get-ProxmoxVM -Connection $connection -Node "pve1"
```

This example gets all VMs on the node "pve1".

### Example 3: Get a specific VM by ID

```powershell
$connection = Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Credential (Get-Credential)
$vm = Get-ProxmoxVM -Connection $connection -VMID 100
```

This example gets the VM with ID 100.

### Example 4: Get the raw JSON response

```powershell
$connection = Connect-ProxmoxServer -Server "proxmox.example.com" -Credential (Get-Credential)
$json = Get-ProxmoxVM -Connection $connection -RawJson
```

This example gets the raw JSON response for all VMs.
