Detailed Description

This cmdlet modifies GFS media pool.

Parameters

Parameter	Description	Required	Position	Accept Pipeline Input	Accept Wildcard Characters
MediaPool	Specifies the GFS media pool you want to modify. Accepts VBRTapeGFSMediaPool type.	True	Named	True (ByValue, ByProperty Name)	False
Name	Specifies the name you want to assign to the media pool.	True	Named	False	False
Library	Specifies the array of tape libraries. The media pool will use tapes from these libraries. For tape library failover, use NextLibOffline, NextLibDrivesBusy and/or NextLibNoMedia parameters to manage the failover events. Veeam will switch to the next library in order they are added to the VBRTapeLibrary object. Accepts VBRTapeLibrary, GUID or string type.	True	Named	True (ByProperty Name)	False
Description	Specifies the description for the created media pool. If not set, Veeam will enter date and time of creation by default.	False	Named	False	False
Medium	Specifies the array of tapes. The cmdlet will add these tapes to the media pool. Accepts VBRTapeMedium, GUID or string type.	False	Named	False	False
MoveFrom FreePool	If set, the media pool will be replenished by tapes from the Free media pool.	False	Named	False	False
Enable Encryption	Indicates that Veeam Backup & Replication will encrypt data archived to tape. Use the EncryptionKey parameter to specify the encryption key you want to use to encrypt the data.	False	Named	False	False
EncryptionKey	Used to set the encryption key for the EnableEncryption parameter. Specifies the encryption key you want to use to encrypt the data. Accepts VBREncryptionKey type.	False	Named	False	False
NextLib Offline	If set, the media pool will switch to the next library if the primary library is offline. Default: true.	False	Named	False	False
NextLib DrivesBusy	If set, the media pool will switch to the next library if the primary library has no available drives. Default: true.	False	Named	False	False
NextLib NoMedia	If set, the media pool will switch to the next library if the primary library has no available media. Default: true.	False	Named	False	False
Weekly Overwrite Period	Indicates the data retention period for the weekly media set (weeks).	False	Named	False	False
Monthly Overwrite Period	Indicates the data retention period for the monthly media set (months).	False	Named	False	False
Quarterly Overwrite Period	Indicates the data retention period for the quarterly media set (months).	False	Named	False	False
Yearly Overwrite Period	Indicates the data retention period for the yearly media set (years).	False	Named	False	False
Weekly MediaSet Policy	Indicates settings for the weekly media set. Accepts VBRTapeGFSMediaSetPolicy type.	False	Named	False	False
Monthly MediaSet Policy	Indicates settings for the monthly media set. Accepts VBRTapeGFSMediaSetPolicy type.	False	Named	False	False
Quarterly MediaSet Policy	Indicates settings for the quarterly media set. Accepts VBRTapeGFSMediaSetPolicy type.	False	Named	False	False
Yearly MediaSet Policy	Indicates settings for the yearly media set. Accepts VBRTapeGFSMediaSetPolicy type.	False	Named	False	False
Enable MultiStreaming	Indicates that the media pool can use several drives simultaneously. Use the NumberOfStreams parameter to set the maximum number of drives that can be used. Use the SplitJobFilesBetweenDrives parameter to indicate if the multistreaming will be used to split data between tape jobs or between source backup jobs.	False	Named	False	False
NumberOfStreams	Used to set value for the EnableMultiStreaming parameter. Indicates the maximum number of drives that the media pool can use. Default: 2.	False	Named	False	False
SplitJobFiles BetweenDrives	If set, one tape job will use multiple drives to write data. Drives will process source backup jobs one by one. Default: one drive is used for one tape job.	False	Named	False	False
PassThru	Indicates that the command returns the output object to the Windows PowerShell console.	False	Named	False	False
Mode	Specifies the tape media pool mode. You can set either of the following modes: Paralleling: if you set this mode, the tape job will use drives in all libraries parallelly. Failover: if you set this mode, the tape job will use the first library in the list to write data. Other libraries from this media pool will be passive and will be used for failover.	False	Named	False	False
