Before you can establish a connection, you must create a replication set.
-
Use the 
repset create command to create a new replication set.
Command
REPSET CREATE
Description
Creates a replication set
Syntax
REPSET CREATE <name>
Options
name—Name of the replication set
Examples
repset create DataFiles
Notes
- The name of the replication set should not be a Double-Take Availability keyword. These are any DTCL command (source, target, and so on.) or any DTCL shortcut command (env, mon, rep, and so on).
- Replication set names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-
Specify it as the active replication set by using the repset use command.
Command
REPSET USE
Description
Specifies a replication set as the active replication set
Syntax
REPSET USE <repset>
Options
repset—Name of the replication set
Examples
repset use DataFiles
Notes
Replication set names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-
Define a replication set rule by using the repset rule add command.
Command
REPSET RULE ADD
Description
Adds a rule to a replication set. A rule is the specification of a path including volume, directories, wild cards, and/or file names.
Syntax
REPSET RULE ADD <path> [INClude|EXClude]
[, RECursive|NONRECursive] [TO <repset>]
Options
- path—Volume, directory, wild card, and/or file name
- INClude—Include the specified path in the replication set
- EXClude—Exclude the specified path in the replication set
- RECursive—All subdirectories and files of the specified path are recursively included or excluded
- NONRECursive—No subdirectories and files of the specified path are included or excluded
- repset—Name of the replication set
Examples
- repset rule add "/data" to DataFiles
- repset rule add "/temp" exc rec to DataFiles
Notes
-
The default settings for this command are include and recursive.
- The options include/exclude and recursive/nonrecursive can be used in any combination and in any order. The first option does not require a comma, but the second option does require a comma before the option.
- If you do not specify a replication set name, the current replication set will be used.
- Options that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
- Repeat the repset rule add command to completely define your replication set.
-
If you need to see the devices available, use the device list command.
Command
DEVICE LIST
Description
Displays the block devices available on a machine
Syntax
DEVICE LIST <filter> [ON <machine>]
Options
- filter—Use one of the following options for the device filter
- ALL—Lists all unique devices on the specified machine. If there is no
machine specified, the source, if designated, will be tried first. The
target, if designated, will be tried second.
- OKSOURCE—List all devices on the specified source that are
replication capable. If a target is specified, an error will be returned.
- OKTARGET—List all devices on the specified target that are capable of
being used as a target path. If a source is specified, an error will be
returned.
- machine—Name of the machine
Examples
device list all on alpha
Notes
Machine names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-
If you need to remove a rule, use the repset rule remove command.
Command
REPSET RULE REMOVE
Description
Removes a rule from a replication set
Syntax
REPSET RULE REMove <path> [FROM <repset>]
Options
- path—Volume, directory, wild card, and/or file name
- repset—Name of the replication set
Examples
- repset rule remove "/data" from DataFiles
- repset rule rem "/temp"
Notes
- If you do not specify a replication set name, the current replication set will be used.
- Options that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.
-
After you have added all of the rules, save the replication set by using the repset save command.
Command
REPSET SAVE
Description
