Examples
Example 1: Remove a child data source
This example removes the ninth child data source stored in a parent data source.
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 member of the $Pg array in editable mode, and then stores this protection group in the $Mpg variable.
The third command gets the data source for the list of protection groups in the $Pg variable and stores this data source in the $Po variable.
The fourth command uses standard array notation to specify the ninth element of the $Po array. The command removes that data source from 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 -ProtectionGroup $Pg
PS C:\> Remove-DPMChildDatasource -ProtectionGroup $Mpg -ChildDatasource $Po[8]
