Error description

• Error Description:
  The Automatic Client Deployment feature executed via IBM
  Spectrum Protect Operations Center, will not work if the SPOKE
  server is not also configured as a Target server for
  Replication. As result of this behavior, the "Schedule Update"
  button will be greyed out. All clients are affected, those bound
  to the HUB but also those bound to the SPOKE.
  
  
  
  Initial Impact:
  Medium
  
  
  Versions Affected:
  IBM Spectrum Protect Operations Center, all supported versions
  

Local fix

• On the Hub server:
  
           1. Create a temporary replication type storage rule:
                  DEFINE STGRULE temprule <name of the spoke
  server> ACTIONTYPE=replicate ACTIVE=no
         2.  Wait a 2 to 5 minutes.  Then run QUERY REPLSERVER to
  see if the Spoke server is in the list.
          3.  Once spoke server is in the QUERY REPLSERVER list
  next time the client deployment package manager automatically
              wakes up  to refresh client packages it will l try
  replicating the client packages to the spoke.
  
  
  
               Alternatively, if you cant wait for the next day
  you can re- try the client deployment refresh package by running
  the undocumented Server
  
                 command:
  
                          REFRESH PKG
           4.  You can remove the temporary storage rule with the
  DELETE STGRULE command:
                        DELETE STGRULE temprule
