Recommission client nodes or virtual machines

With IBM Spectrum® Protect Version 8.1.10, you can recommission a client node or virtual machine that was previously decommissioned. By using this feature, you can restore a client node or virtual machine to the production environment and resume data backup operations.

To reset the status of a node that was previously decommissioned from the production environment by using the DECOMMISSION NODE command, use the RECOMMISSION NODE command.

To reset the status of a virtual machine file space that was previously decommissioned from the production environment by using the DECOMMISSION VM command, use the RECOMMISSION VM command.
