Hi,

to import the node onto the target server you need to define the target
server as a server to itself. Also you need to have the storage pool name 
defined
on your target server that was defined on the source OR you need to
predefine the node in a domain/policy/mgmtclass/copygroup that points to another
storage pool. Something like:

DEFINE SERVER TARGET SERVERPASS=XXX HLA=100.100.100.100 LLA=1500
NODENAME=SOURCE PASSWORD=XXX
DEFINE DEV TARGET DEVT=SERVER SERVERNAME=TARGET MAXCAP=2G

Where the HLA is your target server IP address.

Then your import should be along the lines of:

IMPORT NODE * DEVCLASS=TARGET VOLUME=TARGET.EXP.987654321

The self reference makes the naming conventions a bit wierd, I hope you can
follow this. The server to server redbook has quite a bit on this procedure
if I remember correctly.

Paul.
