Hi Robert, If not already done, you should have a look at following page : https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/wikis/home?lang=en#!/wiki/Tivoli%20Storage%20Manager/page/Directory-container%20storage%20pools%20FAQs There's a note there (Q8) explaining that "protect stgpool" should be used before "replicate node".
In fact if you use the wizard which is now part of the 7.1.x OC to setup replication, you will see that it automatically creates some admin schedules which are run every 6 hours (can be customized), that are triggering "protect stgpool" commands. In addition to this, it also schedules a "replicate" job, which is run once a day, as part of TSM daily maintenance jobs. Regarding audit and repair commands : - Audit container : will by default use the " SCANAll l" options, which basically will look for damaged extents in a container. If any problem is found, you can then use "q damaged" to get better information on what client file has been damaged. Option REMOVEDamaged means that the damaged extents will be deleted from TSM DB. To my mind it should be used only after an unsuccessful "repair" attempt, or if there's no protection pool. Option MARKDamaged will force TSM to mark all of the involved container extents as damaged. To my mind, it should be used only if willing to forcibly delete a container, and should in this case be followed by an audit with option REMOVEDamaged. Option SCANDamaged will force TSM to check again the extents previously marked as damaged. It should be used after "repair" command to reset the error conditions (which would be reset with SCANAll option too) - Repair container : well, it is pretty self-explanatory : once client data extents have been found damaged, whether by some process, or following to an audit command, it will allow you to restore them, on condition that a protection storage pool exists, and that "protect stgpool" commands have been used. It is the equivalent of "restore stgpool" command , but for directory pools. Hope this helped ...

I have a TSM server 7.1.5 on an O.S Windows server 2008 R2 64B. I have mix STGPOOLS , some of type FILE (with DEDUP on server side) and some of type DIRECTORY For now my order process of administrative tasks is: 1. At late afternoon for few hours , run IDENTIFY DUPLICATES 2. At morning 07:00 , run EXPIRE INVENTORY 3. After it, run BACKUP DB 4. After it, run RECLAIM STG Now because I created new STGpools with type DIRECTORY (inline dedup), and create too an TARGET server version 7.1.5.. Update my stgpools of type DIRECTORY with the option: PROTECTstgpool=Targetstgppol (on Target server) Now the questions: What will be the correct order process to add the new tasks as: PROTECT STGPOOL REPLICATE NODE And what will be the correct command to repair damage container in source STG ????? As AUDIT CONTAINER ( with which options ??) and REPAIR CONTAINER ???
