Hi
I have two SP server with serve to server communication. And both server have two container pool

Server_A --> ContainerPoolA and ContainerPoolB
Server_B --> ContainerPoolB and ContainerPoolA

On server_A, Backup is going to ContainerPoolA .
ContainerPoolA of Server_B is replicating STG Pool of Server_A ContainerPoolA

On Server_B, Backup is going to ContainerPoolB .
ContainerPoolB of Server_A is replicating STG Pool of Server_B ContainerPoolB
I have ran protect stgpool Server_A, Completed successfully, activity log shows actually it has protected server_A ContainerPoolA to ContainerPoolA on server_B.

then i have ran replicate node A, completed successfully

But when run - q occu A on server_B, replicated data shows on ContainerPoolB.

My question is - why data is not replicated to ContainerPoolA on Server_B?
Please help

It's likely a management class issue.

Replication works like a backup. When NodeA1 replicates from ServerA to ServerB, it checks for the management class on ServerB for the same domain Node1 belongs to. And uses that destination.

Do you use different domain names on ServerA and ServerB? If not, it's probably a good idea if you want the level of control you are looking for.

NodeA1 in DomainA on ServerA going to DomainA on ServerB
NodeB1 in DomainB on ServerB going to DomainB on ServerA

Domain name, policy set, Mgmt class and coppygroup are identical on both ServerA and ServerB. ServerA is production SP server on DC A and ServerB is Prod SP server in DC B.

That's why then. The nodes replicated from serverB probably go to PoolA on ServerA I bet.

I agree with you, that should go to PoolA on ServerA. I will test this and post you here. And also I will update domain, polset etc with different name on ServerB. And test the replicate NodeA on ServerA.

If you update the existing domain, it will affect your backups that go to ServerB.

You almost need two domains on both servers:
DomainA (all nodes that backup to serverA)
DomainB (all nodes that backup to serverB)
DomainA goes to PoolA on both servers
DomainB goes to PoolB on both servers.

You can use the COPY DOMAIN command to make a copy of the existing domain.
Then on both servers, update all the nodes to be in the proper domain and update the management class in each domain to go to the right pool.

Update:
I replicate node from serverB and went to PoolA on ServerA as expected.
Fix:
1. Delete existing domain on both servers
2. Define new domain DomainA on ServerA and set to destination PoolA. And define another domain DomainX and set to destination to PoolX on Server A
3. Define new domain DomainA and DomainX and set to destination to PoolA and PoolX respectively on ServerB
4. replicated node on ServerA and data successfully replicate to PoolA.
Problem Fix
Thanks for your help
