On AFS clients, /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB, defines the cells and (their servers) that can be accessed via /afs. Over time, site details change: servers are added/removed or moved onto new network addresses. New sites appear. In order to keep up-to-date with such changes, the CellServDB file on each AFS client should be kept consistent with some master copy (at your site). As well as updating CellServDB, your AFS administrator should ensure that new cells are mounted in your cell’s root.afs volume.
