Hi Michael Thank you very much for the information ..... make more sense now.
Your link is very helpful too .. I have just need another clarification about the policy retention , if they are not the same in SOURCE and TARGET servers . I mean that I want to keep in TARGET server less versions (type backup) or last days (type archive). To make simple in source F.S (default) - Node (default) - server (ALL_DATA) So if I have for a node a policy (archive) of keeping 365 days and on the TARGET server I just want to keep 60 days. During the first replicate node which policy works ? All data for 365 days will be replicate or just the data for 60 days ?

April 2014 11:53 An: ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU Betreff: Tsm replication 7.1 Hi to all Long time ago I test the replication feature for DRM purpose. 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 ?
