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