Examples
Example 1: Add a tape to a library
PS C:\>$DpmMLibrary = Get-DPMLibrary -DPMServerName "Contoso-DPMServer"
PS C:\> Add-DPMTape -DPMLibrary $DpmLibrary
The first command uses the Get-DPMLibrary cmdlet to retrieve the library for the server, and then stores it in the $DpmLibrary variable.
The second command adds a tape to the library.
