    I want to add a new server in a already existing group.For this task i have written a script 
    $PGNAME = Protection group name 
    $DPMServer = dpm-server 
    $Client = New-machine 
    $pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName $DPMServer | Where-Object {$_.FriendlyName.ToUpper() -eq $PGNAME.ToUpper()} 
    $Modpg = Get-ModifiableProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $pg 
    $ps = Get-ProductionServer -DPMServerName $DPMServer 
    $machine = $ps | Where-Object {$_.MachineName.ToUpper() -eq $Client.ToUpper()} 
    $dds = Get-Datasource -ProductionServer $machine 

    Now instead of adding all the members i wanted to add just a particular drive and System protection so i did - 
    $ds=$dds | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "C:\"-or $_.Name -contains "System Protection" } 
    Add-ChildDataSource -ProtectionGroup $Modpg -ChildDataSource $ds 
    Get-DatasourceDiskAllocation -Datasource $ds[0] 
    Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation -Datasource $ds[0] -ProtectionGroup $Modpg 
    Get-DatasourceDiskAllocation -Datasource $ds[1] 
    Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation -Datasource $ds[1] -ProtectionGroup $Modpg 

    And finally - 
    Set-ReplicaCreationMethod -ProtectionGroup $Modpg -NOW 
    Set-ProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $Modpg 

    But i get the following error -

    Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation : The item Computer\System Protection does not exist in protection group PROTECTION_GROUP. (ID: 31019 ) At C:\PATH_TO_SCRIPT\SCRIPT_NAME.ps1:84 char:29 + Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation <<<< -Datasource $ds[1] -ProtectionGroup $Modpg + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation], DlsException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 31019,Microsoft.Internal.EnterpriseStorage.Dls.UI.Cmdlet.ProtectionCmdLets.SetDiskAlloca tion 
    Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation is not happening.Please help me out.

    Hi Mandeep,

    Sample of script I use with "system protection":

    $dpmname = get-content env:computername
    Disconnect-DPmServer $dpmname
    Connect-DPmServer $dpmname

    $dsname = "System Protection"
    $poname = "System state"
    $pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName $DPMname | Where {$_.FriendlyName -match "YourExistingPGName"}

    $mpg = Get-ModifiableProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $pg

    $ps = Get-ProductionServer -DPMServerName $DPMname | Where {$_.MachineName -contains "YourServerName"}
    $ds = Get-Datasource -ProductionServer $ps -inquire | Where {$_.Name -contains $dsname}
    $PoSrc = Get-ChildDatasource -ChildDatasource $ds -Inquire | where { ($_.logicalpath,$_.name,$_.type) -match $poname}

    Add-ChildDataSource -ProtectionGroup $mpg -ChildDataSource $Posrc
    Get-DatasourceDiskAllocation -Datasource $ds
    Set-DatasourceDiskAllocation -Datasource $ds -ProtectionGroup $mpg
    Set-ReplicaCreationMethod -ProtectionGroup $mpg -NOW
    Set-DPMProtectionGroup -ProtectionGroup $mpg

    Disconnect-DPmServer $dpmname

    Hi Mandeep,

    If you want to add "System state", you need to use Cmdlet "Get-ChildDatasource", something like that:

    $poname = "Computer\System Protection\System state"

    $ds=$dds | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "C:\"-or $_.Name -contains "System Protection" }

    $PoSrc = Get-ChildDatasource -ChildDatasource$ds -Inquire | where { ($_.logicalpath,$_.name) -contains $poname }

    Add-ChildDataSource -ProtectionGroup $Modpg -ChildDataSource $PoSrc

    I hope this will help you.

    $PoSrc = Get-ChildDatasource -ChildDatasource $ds -Inquire | where { ($_.logicalpath,$_.name) -contains $poname }

    is not working for me when i try to run 

    Get-ChildDatasource -ChildDatasource $ds[1]
     

    where $ds[1] has "system protection"  data source but 

    Get-ChildDatasource -ChildDatasource $ds[1] -Inquire

    ain't working for me. Any suggestions?
