Examples

Example 1: Mark a tape as free

The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to retrieve the library for the server, and then stores it in the $DpmLibrary variable.

The second command uses the Get-DPMTape cmdlet to retrieve the tape object, and then stores it in the $DpmTape variable.

The third command sets the second tape as Free.

PS C:\> $DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $DpmTape = Get-Tape -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
PS C:\> Set-DPMTape -Tape $DpmTape[1] -Free
