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