Changing the Settings Through the Text Client
Changing Storage Mirroring settings using the Text Client can be confusing because the settings for a Storage Mirroring source
or target are stored in the same location as the settings for the Storage Mirroring Text Client. Therefore, if you are running
a Storage Mirroring source or target on the same machine that you are running the Text Client, and you update a client setting,
you are also updating that setting on the source and/or target. The reverse is also true. If you update a setting on a source or
target that is also running the Text Client, you are also updating that client setting.
All of the Storage Mirroring program settings are accessible using the get command. This command retrieves the current
value of the specified setting.
Any setting can be changed using the set command. This command applies a new value to the setting.
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.
‹ Machine names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
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=1500
‹ 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 daemon is restarted. For example, the Text Client must be closed and reopened for a
change to ClientLogName to take effect. And the daemon 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.
‹ Machine names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
