Examples

Example 1: Rename a protection group

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

The second command gets the protection group in a modifiable mode, and then stores the results in the $MPGroup variable.

The third command renames the protection group in $MPGroup to ProtectGroup02.

The fourth command saves all the actions on the DPM server that you performed on the protection group in $MPGroup.

PS C:\> $PGroup = Get-DPMProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer02"
PS C:\> $MPGroup = Get-DPMModifiableProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $PGroup 
PS C:\> Rename-DPMProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup -NewName "ProtectGroup02"
PS C:\> Set-DPMProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $MPGroup
