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.
Because the Text Client and Command Line Client use the same DTCL commands, all examples use the Text Client. For a
complete listing of the DTCL commands and the conventions used to document them, see
Storage Mirroring Commands on
page A-1.
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 a Windows client, select Start , Programs , Storage Mirroring , Linux Text Client or from a command prompt of any
client, 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.
To use Storage Mirroring from the Text Client, enter the DTCL commands at the Command prompt in the middle of the
Text Client screen.
NOTE: The DTText command name is case-sensitive.
