Unfortunately I had already removed the replicated nodes on both servers and it 
still won't let me delete it.

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

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.
Help!
