I'm using it productive...
my reccomendations:
expire inventory right before replication to reduce the amount of data to replicate.
and to prevent ressource waiter timeouts: do not backup and replicate a node at the same time.
best practice: backup, expire, replication
to do so, I created an "expire and replicate" admin schedule which reschedules to "now+5 minutes" as long as backup is still running.
if you have a weak line and you need it during day for business, consider canceling replication.
somtimes this can take a while (up to hours for weak lines). a PMR is open for that.
last thing to know about: it is no replacement for a copypool. I'd call it an "addon" to disaster capabilities which allows you to "instantly" access data of a node, like some did it with daily "export node" in the past.

Hi Robert,
Did you attend these STE sessions last week :
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27024234
I'm not using Node replication in production right now but I'm considering to use it soon.
I Think there is still missing some features such as being able to restore a failed volume of the source server from the target server. The idea behind is to avoid backing up stgs and just replicating nodes...
