Description

The Remove-DPMDatasourceReplica cmdlet removes an inactive replica from disk or tape.

Examples

Example 1: Remove a data source replica

PS C:\>$PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $PObjects = Get-DPMDatasource -ProtectionGroup $PGroup
PS C:\> Remove-DPMDatasourceReplica -Datasource $PObjects -Disk

The first command gets the protection group from the DPM server named DPMServer02, and then stores that group in the $PGroup variable.

The second command gets the data source from the protection group in $PGroup, and then stores that data source in the $PObject variable.

The last command removes the replica of the data source in $PObjects from disk.
