TapeWritePeriodRatio

Indicates the number of days for which data can be written on to a tape as a ratio of the retention period of the first data set written to the tape.

For example, if the retention period for the first data set written to a tape, where Tape Data Colocation is enabled, is 100 days, and you set the Write-Period ratio as 0.15, data will be written to the tape for 15 days from the day on which the data set was written to the tape. After this period, the tape will be marked as offsite ready.

The value can range from 0 – 1.

The OptimizeTapeUsage parameter should be set to True to set TapeWritePeriodRatio for a DPM server.

Set-DPMGlobalProperty:Name of the DPM global property
Do you mind at least describing what a global property is?
It is very frustrating after taking the time to look up how to do something and the instructions or difinitions are written with jargon.

Set-DPMGlobalProperty

The first parameter -DPMServerName is spelled wrong. It is wrong in this document and it is wrong in the get-command set-dpmglobalproperty description on the DPM server. The correct spelling is -DPMServer. But I still don't know what the referrence to PropertyName: Name of DPM global property. Once I found out that the first parameter was spelled wrong excuting this command works without any Property Name parameter.

It looks like this has been corrected with sp1. I did noticed that you have to close the console and open it again to get the status of colocation to change to "Enabled". Performing a refresh and a rescan did not change it for me.
