Description

The Lock-DPMLibraryIEPort cmdlet locks the insert/eject (I/E) port for a System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) library and loads the media present in the I/E port into the slot.

Examples

Example 1: Lock an I/E port

PS C:\>$DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "DPMServer07"
PS C:\> Lock-DPMLibraryDoor -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary

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

The second command locks the object stored in $DpmLibrary.
