IMPORT Node Problems

From: Peter Thomas on 03/04/97 09:28 PM
I was experimenting this afternoon with the EXPORT NODE and IMPORT NODE
commands. I have a w/s ENTWTHOMAPE which has been backed up to ADSM. I
performed an EXPORT NODE with FILEDATA=ALL to DLT tape OG8009.

Once the Export was done, I deleted all filespaces it had from ADSM.
I then attempted to use the IMPORT NODE command to reload it's data from
tape.

If I tried to use
     IMPORT NODE DEVC=DLTTAPE VOL=OG8009 ENTWTHOMAPE FILEDATA=ALL
the ADSM client complains that the node name (ENTWTHOMAPE) is invalid.

When I did the Import without the nodename, the process started, mounted
the tape. Part way through the import process it died. When I checked the
Activity log, I saw the following messages:

(The migration process is moving data from disk pool MLI_BACKUP to a
colocated tape pool MLI_ONSITE. The client ENTWTHOMAPE is in the domain
MLI_DOMAIN that has a primary pool of MLI_BACKUP.)

I tried it a second time with the same result. I;'ve now brought the ADSM
server down and restarted it. This time the Import Node worked correctly.

I'm hoping in the next day or so to get the server (and client) upgraded to
current levels. Is this a known problem or what...
