1 Using HP StorageWorks DButil
HP StorageWorks DButil is a command-line utility to facilitate application-consistent replication of a
Microsoft SQL Server database. HP DButil commands place the database in a transactionally consistent
state and suspends write operations while HP StorageWorks replication software is used to copy the
database. Other HP DButil commands then resume the database and normal write operations.
Users are not logged out of the database while it is suspended and the database remains online.
