Implementing Data Domain with Spectrum Protect

[droach]

With the new node replication features in Spectrum Protect, is there any way to take advantage of these new replication features if you are using a DD as a source and target? I am in the process of setting up TSM servers at my Disaster Recovery site where my offsite DD is located. Just trying to find the best way to insure I have recoverable TSM servers at DR.

I do find older docs for setting up TSM v6.x and DD, but I can't find any documentation for setting up Spectrum Protect with Data Domain. I know Moon-buddy has done this, but I believe it was done prior to the release of Spectrum Protect.

Any info is appreciated...

Same process with 7.1 as with 6.x. There is currently no Spectrum Protect replication of metadata only, so if you use DD replication, which is sounds like you are. Then using HADR is likely your best bet to have a standby ready: https://ibm.biz/BdsumS Ignore the bits about deduplication, you will likely use the DD deduplication.
