Hi, I cannot find the original email with this post so forgive my copy/paste recap. For reference, I found it online and copy it here...
<<Original post: 2015-03-04 00:55:41>> Hi to all In TSM Version 7.1.1+ there is a new feature called SET REPLRECOVERDAMAGED To use it need to be ON with the command: SET REPLRECOVERDAMAGED ON Here the help below but don’t understand what is the default YES or NO ? During a replicate node. RECOVERDamaged--=--+-Yes-- +-No--- +-Only- RECOVERDamaged Specifies whether a recovery process is started on a target replication server after the node replication process is completed. This parameter is optional, and it overrides any value that you specified for the RECOVERDamaged parameter when you defined or updated a node. You can specify one of the following values: Yes Specifies that a replication process is started to recover damaged files, but only if the setting for the REPLRECOVERDAMAGED system parameter is ON. If the setting is OFF, damaged files are not recovered. No Specifies that damaged files are not recovered. Only Specifies that a replication process is started for the sole purpose of recovering damaged files, but only if the setting for the REPLRECOVERDAMAGED system parameter is ON. If the setting is OFF, damaged files are not recovered, and you receive a notification that recovery was not started. Best Regards Robert Ouzen Haifa University Israel <<End original post>> <<Response follows>> Based on what I read, the broader question seems to be... When you run the REPLICATE NODE command, will damaged files be recovered by default? The answer depends on several factors. As mentioned in the REPLICATE NODE command topic: "Files are recovered only if all the following conditions are met: Tivoli® Storage Manager, Version 7.1.1 or later, is installed on the source and target replication servers. The REPLRECOVERDAMAGED system parameter is set to ON. The system parameter can be set by using the SET REPLRECOVERDAMAGED command. The source server includes at least one file that is marked as damaged in the node that is being replicated. The node data was replicated before the damage occurred." In addition, the recovery of damaged files depends on the setting for the RECOVERDAMAGED parameter for the individual node. See Table 1 in the REPLICATE NODE topic: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSGSG7_7.1.1/com.ibm.itsm.srv.ref.doc/r_cmd_node_replicate.html
