Hi Steve,

I did the trip last month for one of my customer.
Do not need to export to a shared FS, you can directly
try "Server-to-server" export. It works fine.
The "key-step" (which I forgot to do the first time) is the
"loopback" devclass.

You can have a look at this piece of redbook : SG245244.PDF, §4.11.2 page
130

Here is the steps I did for my customer.

1) export node from server1 to server2 (on a diskpool)
2) import node from server2 to server2 (that is the trick !)

Good luck
Rv
