Hello,

        We're going to move some filesystems around, basically consolidate
12 filesystems on 8 nodes to 12 filesystems on 2 nodes.  Can I specify
multiple nodenames (doesn't make sense to me) so that it understands and
doesn't do the incremental?
        Anyone have any ideas about this.  I don't have enough tapes to do
a export and import onto the new node (requires writing new tapes) to
transfer all the data.  I can't rename the multiple nodes to one node, it
just isn't supported.  Any ideas?  Here's some info

SP Environment
AIX 4.3.2
ADSM 3.1.2.20
3575 Library with 324 capacity tapes, 2 drives (of which 253 used for
        Incremental, 64 for archive).
