Ade,
try the backup command again and add the /VERIFY qualifier. That way
you'll know whether the on disk structure
on the target disk is valid. There's no need to run WRITEBOOT,
restoring the .B saveset produces a bootable disk.
The error ?42 NOSUCHFILE seems to indicate that you either boot from
the wrong volume or that the volume is bad.
Boot the 3100 again in the cluster and run ANALYSE/DISK on the
intended boot device.
The backup command you used was:  $ BACKUP/IMAGE DKA500:[000000]
VMS073.B/SAVE $3$DKA100:
Or something similar? When you boot the 3100 in the cluster, run a
directory of  [000000] just to check that there's not just
a copy of the .B saveset sitting there...
