    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    This may be related or duplicate of past RFEs:

    https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=31731
    TSM node replication needs to support a Many to Many Server Grid
    * This was declined, probably because of the explosion in DB table space that would be needed.


    https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=23372
    TSM node replication feature : many to many
    * This was closed as an internal duplicate. Probably related to the above one also.


    https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=21107
    TSM "server to server" replication
    * This suggests the replication server be part of the policy domain.
    * This is still open, but has been languishing for 6 years.
    * This would probably solve my needs.


    https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=14578
    Ability to specify Node replication parameters on each node
    * Too much detail - most of this one wants to be DEFINE SERVER instead of UPDATE NODE
    * This was declined. Conceptually it is also superseded by later RFEs.
