Robert, you run protect stgpool prior to replicate node. By doing the protect first, you can reduce the amount of traffic needed for the replicate node process. Also, without performing protect stgpool, you loose the ability to use REPAIR STGPOOL as it depends on Protect Stgpool being performed.
Protect Stgpool and Node replication perform two different functions, but complement each other. Node replication will send stgpool data and catalog metadata. To insure the logical consistency of the metadata, it will lock the data it is replicating (not positive at what level). After doing node replication, you can recover client data. Protect stgpool moves the data, as well, but does not lock as badly, so it will have less of an impact to other operations. Once it completes, you can recover stgpool data (which can happen automatically if Protect senses a data corruption in the source pool), also Protect Stgpool gives you chunk level recovery that hooks into REPAIR Stgpool.

I have a TSM server 7.1.5 on an O.S Windows server 2008 R2 64B. I have mix STGPOOLS , some of type FILE (with DEDUP on server side) and some of type DIRECTORY For now my order process of administrative tasks is: 1. At late afternoon for few hours , run IDENTIFY DUPLICATES 2. At morning 07:00 , run EXPIRE INVENTORY 3. After it, run BACKUP DB 4. After it, run RECLAIM STG Now because I created new STGpools with type DIRECTORY (inline dedup), and create too an TARGET server version 7.1.5.. Update my stgpools of type DIRECTORY with the option: PROTECTstgpool=Targetstgppol (on Target server) Now the questions: What will be the correct order process to add the new tasks as: PROTECT STGPOOL REPLICATE NODE And what will be the correct command to repair damage container in source STG ????? As AUDIT CONTAINER ( with which options ??) and REPAIR CONTAINER ???
