}The UUID to find. If vmSearch is true, the uuid can be either BIOS or instance UUID.
If true, search for virtual machines, otherwise search for hosts.
Should only be set when vmSearch is true. If specified, search for virtual machines whose instance UUID matches the given uuid. Otherwise, search for virtual machines whose BIOS UUID matches the given uuid.
The virtual machine or host managed entity that is found. If no managed entities are found, null is returned. Only a single entity is returned, even if there are multiple matches.
