Description

The Disable-DPMTapeDrive cmdlet disables a tape drive in the System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) library.

Examples

Example 1: Disable a tape drive in a library

PS C:\>$DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $DpmTapeDrive = Get-DPMTapeDrive -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
PS C:\> Disable-DPMTapeDrive -TapeDrive $DpmTapeDrive

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

The second command uses the Get-DPMTapeDrive cmdlet to get the tapes in the library, and then stores them in the $DpmTapeDrive variable.

The third command disables the tape drives in $DpmTapeDrive.
