20.4 DS Command-Line Interface (DS CLI)
Although the DS CLI will not run on a System z processor, you can still use it to manage copy
services operations on mainframe disks if you have a supported server environment (for
example, Windows XP). The DS CLI can be used to create scripts for setup and control of
DS6000 functions. It is a flexible and powerful interface.
