Had tried that also. In fact i think i've tried every possible
combination as detailed in the client manual. 

Output:

tsm> restore \\restnode\e$\* \\so03drt02\f$\* -subdir=yes -quiet
ANS1084E No files have previously been backed up for '\\restnode\e$\*'
tsm>


I've read the technote, very interesting. I can't rename the system name
to the original system name, this may cause problems on the network, i
am told.

But....

I have updated the dsm.opt to set the nodename to RESTNODE
Opened DSMC session
Issued command RESTORE \\RESTNODE\E$\* F: SUBDIR=YES-QUIET -REPLACE=ALL

And it is restoring now!

I am confused, but pleased that it is working.

Thanks for all the replies

Jeff

Jeff -

Whereas your Query FIlespace output reports a system name embedded in
the filespace name rather than a simple "e:", I'd recommend using that
full spec in the cross-node operation.  See IBM Technote 1291549 in
this regard.
