Examples
Example 1: Add a child data source to a protection group
This example adds a child data source to a protection group.
The first command gets all protection groups from the DPM server named DPMServer07 and stores these groups in the $Pg variable. You cannot edit these protection groups.
The second command gets the first protection group in the $Pg array in editable mode, and then stores it in the $Mpg variable.
The third command gets an arrayof protected and unprotected data on the production server named ProductionServer22, and stores the array in the $Po variable.
The fourth command uses standard array notation to specify the ninth element of the $Po array. The command adds that data source to the protection group stored in the $Mpg variable.
PS C:\> $Pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName "DPMServer07"
PS C:\> $Mpg = Get-ModifiableProtectionGroup $Pg[0]
PS C:\> $Po = Get-Datasource -ProductionServer "ProductionServer22"
PS C:\> Add-DPMChildDatasource -ProtectionGroup $Mpg -ChildDatasource $Po[8]
