Jeremy, Since the SmartPool/FilePool configuration isn't replicated, yes, you will need to configure SmartPools/FilePools policies at the target as well.  This is actually nice because you may not always have the same nodes on both the source and target systems.
Customer wants to know if they have to configure SmartPool/FilePool policies at both sides?  i.e. if data was on X and NL Nodes on the SRC directory, how do they get the data laid out identically on the target?
Do I have to configure SmartPools/FilePools at both sides of a SyncIQ solution?
