During node replication, the source replication
server updates the client node attributes that are part of the node
definition that is on the target replication server.
A Tivoli® Storage
Manager V7.1
server can replicate any node definition that is set as a proxy agent
for a replicating node. The associated replication node definition
must be replicated to the target replication server for failover to
occur.
The following client node attributes are updated during
node replication:
- Aggregation
- Automatic file space rename
- Archive delete authority
- Backup delete authority
- Backup initiation
- Cipher strength
- Client option sets
- Compression option
- Contact
- Data-read path
- Data-write path
- Email address
- File space access rules that are created with the client SET
ACCESS command
- High-level address
- Low-level address
- Node lock state
- Operating system
- Option set name
- Password
- Password expiration period
- Proxy node
- Role override
- Session initiation
- Transaction group maximum
- URL
- Validate protocol
Attention: - Ensure that all servers in your replication configuration do not
create client option set conflicts on target replication servers.
When an option set is created, all client nodes that reference that
option set use the options that are defined. Client nodes that are
replicated from different source replication servers can use the same
option set. Only the first option set that is replicated is defined
on the target replication server.
- The node password for the client node is updated during replication
on the source replication server by one server and on the target replication
server by a different server. Because authentication can happen on
a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directory server or
the Tivoli Storage
Manager server,
data can be lost. If dual authentication occurs, the password is not
updated during replication.
The following client node attributes are not updated during
node replication:
- Domain name (might not exist on target replication server)
- Node conversion type
- Target level for automatic client deployment
