In IBM Spectrum Protect node replication, dissimilar policies provide the ability to replicate client data between source and target servers with differing retention settings.
Dissimilar policies allow for more granular control over the retention settings of client data on the target server, which can be different from the retention settings on the source server. This means that the data can be kept for a longer or shorter period of time on the target server compared to the source server, based on the specific retention policies configured for the target server.
According to IBM documentation1, dissimilar policies provide the ability to use different management policies on the target replication server than on the source replication server. This means that you can have different retention periods, storage pools, or data types for replicated data on the target server. You can enable this feature by using the SET DISSIMILARPOLICIES command.
According to IBM documentation1, the purpose of the SET REPLSERVER command is to set the name of a target replication server for a source replication server. The command has two parameters: SERVERNAME and REPLSERVER. The SERVERNAME parameter is the name of a source replication server that you want to replicate data from. The REPLSERVER parameter is the name of a target replication server that you want to replicate data to.

The REPLSERVER parameter is the name of a target replication server that you want to replicate data to.
According to IBM’s documentation1, the CHECKOUT LIBVOL command is used to remove a sequential access storage volume from the server inventory for an automated library. This command creates a background process that can be canceled with the CANCEL PROCESS command.
According to IBM documentation1, to define a server for server-to-server communications, you need to use the DEFINE SERVER command and specify three parameters: SERVERNAME, HLADDRESS, and LLADDRESS. The SERVERNAME parameter is the name of the server that you are defining. The HLADDRESS parameter is the high-level addressof the server that you are defining. The LLADDRESS parameter is the low-level address of the server that you are defining.
