Modifying the log file settings through the Text Client
1. To determine the current location where the log file is stored, use the get command with the LogDir option.
2. To modify the verify log file name, use the set command with the LogDir option. The LogDir option is any valid
directory.
3. To determine the current number indicating how many log files can exist, use the get command with the
MaxNumberOfLogFiles option.
4. To modify the number indicating how many log files can exist, use the set command with the MaxNumberOfLogFiles
option. The default is 5 and the maximum is 59391 .
5. To determine the current maximum size of each log file, use the get command with the MaxLogFileSize option.
6. To modify the maximum size of each log file, use the set command with the MaxLogFileSize option. The default size
is 1048576 bytes (1 MB) and is limited by the available hard drive space.
Command GET
Description The Text Client/DTCL sends a request to Storage Mirroring to return the value of a Double-Take
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 Double-Take
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.
! 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.
NOTE: If you change the MaxNumberofLogFiles or MaxLogFileSize , you must restart the Storage Mirroring
service for the change to take effect.
