Examples
Example 1: Enable a tape drive in a library
The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to get the library for the server named Contoso-DPMServer. The command stores the library in the $DpmLibrary variable.
The second command uses the Get-DPMTapeDrive cmdlet to get the tape drives in the library, and then stores them in the variable named $DpmTapeDrive.
The third command enables the tape drive.
PS C:\> $DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $DpmTapeDrive = Get-DPMTapeDrive -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
PS C:\> Enable-DPMTapeDrive -TapeDrive $DpmTapeDrive
