HP StorageWorks Storage Mirroring for Linux Getting Started (T2558-96077, February 2008)

The Command Line Client

The Command Line Client can be run from a command prompt. It can manage and monitor Storage Mirroring components

on any platform regardless of the Command Line Client platform. The Command Line Client is run from the operating system

command line and the DTCL commands are run from the Storage Mirroring command line.

Starting and using the Command Line Client

There are three different methods of executing commands from the Command Line Client:

! Interactive Entry—At the directory prompt where Storage Mirroring is installed, type the command DTCL –i. A DTCL

Command prompt will appear and the commands can be entered from that prompt. Any resulting errors are immediately

displayed.

Interactive Entry

! File Entry—Create a file with all of the DTCL commands you want to run. At the directory prompt where Storage

Mirroring is installed, type DTCL –f filename where filename is the name of the file containing the DTCL commands.

For example, you might use the following

DTCL.TXT file to log on to a machine and display its replication sets.
