Storage Mirroring Text Clients
The Double-Take Command Language (DTCL) is a scripting
language that can be used in either the Text Client or Command
Line Client to manage and monitor Storage Mirroring components.
It can also be used in script files to execute series and combinations
of commands to meet specific needs.
The Text Client
The Text Client is a full-screen, text-based client that can be run
from a command prompt. It can manage and monitor Storage
Mirroring components on any platform regardless of the Text
Client platform. The interface uses DTCL commands entered one
line at a time. The Text Client offers command line editing
capabilities, such as backspace cursor movement and
forward/backward command history scrolling. All connection
information is displayed in columnar text format on the screen.
Starting the Text Client
From the Windows desktop, select Start, Programs, Storage
Mirroring
, Text Client or from a command prompt, type the
command DTText.
Using the Text Client
The Text Client is divided into three sections:
! The top section displays source, connection, and statistical
data. If specifying a command that requires output, like the
status command, the output is also displayed in this section.
! The middle section is where the DTCL commands are entered.
! The lower section displays the DTCL command that was
entered with any resulting messages. In this section, the
security access granted is also displayed.
NOTE: The DTText command name is not case-sensitive.
