Setting auto-remirror
In the event of a source machine failure or if the Storage Mirroring service stops, data integrity between the source and target
cannot be guaranteed. To resolve this issue, the Storage Mirroring auto-reconnect process automatically reestablishes any
source/target connections that existed prior to Storage Mirroring being unavailable. After an auto-reconnect, an
auto-remirror will ensure that data is identical on the source and target machines. The default installation will configure the
source to perform an auto-remirror if needed.
1. To determine the current auto-remirror setting, use the get command with the AutoRemirror option.
2. To modify the auto-remirror setting, use the set command with the AutoRemirror option. The AutoRemirror
option is set to 1 for enabled or 0 for disabled. By default, auto-remirror is enabled.
Command GET
Description The Text Client/DTCL sends a request to Storage Mirroring to return the value of a Storage
Mirroring program setting. The setting is retrieved by Storage Mirroring from the registry.
Syntax
GET <option> [machine]
Options ! option—See Storage Mirroring Text Client program settings on page 14-11.
! machine—Name of the machine
Examples
! get netport
! get VerifyLogName
! get DefaultAddress
Notes If you do not specify a machine name, the value from the current source will be returned. If you
have not identified an active source, no data will be returned.
Command SET
Description The Text Client/DTCL sends a request to Storage Mirroring to modify the value of a Storage
Mirroring program setting. The setting is immediately applied and is then forwarded to the registry
where it is also applied.
Syntax
SET <option>=<value> [machine]
Options ! option—See Storage Mirroring Text Client program settings on page 14-11.
! value—See Storage Mirroring Text Client program settings on page 14-11.
! machine—Name of the machine
Examples
! set netport=1100
! set VerifyLogName=”HA server.log”
! set DefaultAddress=”129.12.34.3”
Notes ! Some settings, although immediately applied to Storage Mirroring, will not take effect until the
client or service is restarted. For example, the Text Client must be closed and reopened for a
change to ClientLogName to take effect. And the service must be restarted to cause a change in
the modules loaded if the LoadSourceTarget setting is changed. See
Storage Mirroring Text Client
program settings
on page 14-11 for details on each configuration option.
! If you do not specify a machine name, the value from the current source will be updated. If you
have not identified an active source, no changes will be made.
