Unfortunately I had already removed the replicated nodes on both servers and it still won't let me delete it. John
Hi John About the second part of your message, ANR1633E REMOVE NODE: Node NODENAME is set up for replication and cannot be renamed or removed.". You need first to remove the REPLNODE: remove replnode NODENAME from both servers (source and target) Before you can remove the node Regards Robert ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 17:34:22 -0400 From: "Dury, John C." <[email protected]> Subject: define server for replication We have 2 datacenters and plan on having a tsm server at each site. Every c= lient will backup all o the nodes at that site to the tsm server at that si= te and then replicate their data to the server at the other site. Both serv= ers are running tsm 6.3.2. One is aix and one is linux. The linux server is= brand new and was just built. The aix server has been around seemingly for= ever and is currently backing up nodes from both sites. I've read through the manual on replication and believe I understand how it= works. Just as a test, I successfully defined both servers to each other a= nd successfully replicated one small node from one server to the other. For whatever reason, the servers stopped taking to each other (I can't find= any reason anywhere) so I decided I would delete the replicated node on bo= th servers and also delete each server from the other and redefine them. When I try "def server <2ndserver> serverpassword=3D<serverpassword> hladdr= ess=3D2ndserver.blah.blah lladdress=3D1500" (with correct values of course)= , it works successfully but when I try "ping server 2ndserver" it always fa= ils with "ANR4373E Session rejected by target server 2ndserver, reason: Authenticati= on Failure." I've tried making sure that all of the below were done on both servers: set serverhladdress set serverlladdress set serverpassword and tried with both crossdefine on and crossdefine off. I can't find any logic as to why this doesn't work when I know for a fact i= t worked previously. There are no nodes type=3Dserver defined on either tsm= server. The userid I am using to do the command is the same on both server= s and has the same password although I don't think that matters. Both serv= ers have nothing currently set for target replication server. The replicated node I used for testing is also still defined on the target = server and I can't delete it either because it says "ANR1633E REMOVE NODE: = Node NODENAME is set up for replication and cannot be renamed or removed.".= The replication settings on the replicated node on the target server are r= eplstate=3Ddisabled replmode=3Dreceive. I can't change the replmode no matt= er what either. Is anyone else successfully using replication? It worked once and hasn't si= nce and now as I am trying to set it all up again as if from scratch, I can= 't even get the two servers to talk anymore.
