Examples
Example 1: Disable a tape drive in a library
This example disables a tape drive on the server Contoso-DPMServer.
The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to retrieve the library, and stores the result in the $DPMLib variable.
The second command uses the Get-Tape cmdlet to retrieve a list of the tapes in the library, and stores the result in the $TapeDrive variable.
The third command uses the Enable-DPMTapeDrive cmdlet to disable the tape drive.
PS C:\> $DPMLib = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $TapeDrive = Get-TapeDrive -DPMLibrary $DPMLib
PS C:\> Disable-DPMTapeDrive -TapeDrive $TapeDrive
