Hello All,
  We are currently in the process of implementing node replication in our 
environment.  We have an onsite server onsite, and one about 200 miles away as 
our replication target.

Our implementation plan has been to start a "protect stg" for our container 
pools in the morning when the majority of our backups are done, allow that to 
complete, then later in the day run a "replicate node" command.

This seems like it should work to me, and I started by creating scripts to run 
the protect storage pool and been running the replicate node command for a few 
days by hand for a few reasons.  But since we have our processes hammered out, 
the protect storage pool continued to run without issue, but when the script 
issued the "replicate node * " command it crashed the server.

I am curious to see what implementation specs others have or are looking at in 
regards to implementing replication.

Now for some details on the instance that experienced the issue, note our 
replication server is running the same OS and TSM server version:

Operating systems: Redhat 6.1
TSM server version: 7.1.7.100
Number of nodes: just over 1600
Nodes currently enabled for replication: about 5
