I am trying to export nodes from a source server to a target server and
them import them on the target server. I have the export part working OK.
The import instructions are unclear to non-existent in either the
Administrator's Reference or the Administrator's Guide. To export, I did
the following setup:

On the source server:

DEFINE SERVER TARGET NODENAME=SOURCE PASSWORD=XXX.........
DEFINE DEVCLASS TARGET SERVERNAME=TARGET........

On the target server:

REGISTER NODE SOURCE XXX TYPE=SERVER .....

To export on the source server:

EXPORT NODE * DOMAIN=X1234 DEVCLASS=TARGET

This command works OK and creates a virtual EXPORT volume on the source
server (the data is actually stored as an archive file under node SOURCE on
the target server):

TARGET.EXP.987654321


My question is: What definitions are required to be able to import this
data on the target server?

I need to be able to:

IMPORT NODE * DEVCLASS=???? VOLUME=???


Thanks,
