Hallo Robert,
interesting questions: As I'm currently documenting and testing as well the node replication feature (see http://www.mm-it.at/de/TSM_Node_Replication_CMDs_Options_at_a_glance.html) I try to share my current knowledge: Domain Change on Target Replication Server: If you move a node to a different domain on the target, replication will move it back Means, that if I change a domain for the node on the target replication server AFTER a successful replication and then try another replication to the same node , the domain for the node on the target server changed back (without a message!!!) to the original one. replstate=purgedata E.g. if you do: de fi node-name * replstate=purgedata datatype=backup, then: è Backup rule data is then set to state "Purge Data": à see q fi node * f=d è During next replication the objects will be deleted on the target server (see message during replication) and è The replstate for the filespace will be set to disabled You can see the status of the deleted objects later on with q replicaton node-name <processed=xx> f=d What remains to be clarified for me: also with "update node" you have the "undocumented" option of purgedata for the replstate, but I can not see any "purge data" status è My be TSM development can clarify - thanks Expiration: The Source server instructs target to delete objects during replication rgds Michael michael.mal...@tsmpoweradmin.com -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: ADSM: Dist Stor Manager [mailto:ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU] Im Auftrag von Robert Ouzen Gesendet: Mittwoch, 30.

Now I wanted to implant it between two TSM servers version 7.1 and O.S Windows 2008 R2 64B. I have some questions: · The command replicate node if no domain exist in the TARGET server as in SOURCE server , put the node under the domain STANDARD. My question is after it can I update the node to a different domain (created on the TARGET server but in the SOURCE server is not exist) , and in the next replicate node it will go to this domain and not to STANDARD ? · In SOURCE server in the command "update fi" it is an option replstate=purgedata" I don't quite understand the purpose ? · When replicate node with type ARCH have in ARREPLRULEDEFAULT the options : ALL_DATA , ALL_DATA_HIGH_PRIORITY , DEFAULT , NONE . I am using ALL_DATA If I have a node in the SOURCE server with archive copygroups rentention of 360 days and in the TARGET server in the archive coypgroups retention of the domain STANDARD is 90. My question what happen in the replicate node to the TARGET server when no same archive copygroups retention ? Did all data will be replicate and only after running an expire inventory in the TARGET server only the data for 90 days will remain ? or already during the replicate node only the data for 90 days with will replicate ? T.I.A Best Regards Robert
