Description

The Update-DPMDiskStorage cmdlet updates properties of a volume in the storage pool on a System Center - Data Protection Manager (DPM) server. The cmdlet can be used to update the friendly name and allowed data source types.

To get a list of all volumes in the DPM storage pool, use the Get-DPMDiskStorage cmdlet with the Volumes switch.

Examples

Example 1: Update volume properties of a volume in DPM storage pool

PS C:\>$volumes = Get-DPMDiskStorage -DPMServerName "TestingServer" -Volumes
PS C:\> Update-DPMDiskStorage -Volume $volumes[0] -FriendlyName "New Volume" -DatasourceType FileSystem

The first command uses the Get-DPMDiskStorage cmdlet to get the volumes already added to the storage pool of the DPM server named TestingServer. It stores them in the $volumes variable.

The second command updates the friendly name and allowed data source types for the first volume listed in the $volumes variable.
