Yes, you can.
It really depends on the cause of the issue. Sometimes it's the keys themselves not replicating. Sometimes it's the database.
If it's the keys themselves, you can manually copy them from node to node. If it's the database, you would need to look into why the database is not replicating, as it could be a cluster network issue or a larger prevailing problem.
Reboots are sometimes faster than trying to figure out what is broken, but you can fix pretty much anything in cDOT before needing to reboot. Generally, reboots are only needed for issues with the node level portion of the cluster.

Can you force replication across the cluster by hand? I'm just getting ready to go with Clustered OnTap 8.2.x (and the week long class in about a month) and I'd like to know about gotchas like this.
