Examples
Example 1: Remove a tape from a library
The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to retrieve the library for the server. The command stores the result in the $DpmLibrary variable.
The second command uses the Get-Tape cmdlet to retrieve the tape object. The command stores the result in the $DpmTape variable.
The third command uses the Unlock-DPMLibraryDoor cmdlet to unlock the tape door.
The final command removes the third tape from the library.
PS C:\> $DpmLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> $DpmTape = Get-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
PS C:\> Unlock-DPMLibraryDoor -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
PS C:\> Remove-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary -Tape $DpmTape[2]
