Ubik is the AFS database synchronization protocol.  It's how the AFS DB
servers talk to each over and keep in sync.

Um, unlikely.  Does the name 'fs02' appear in DNS or /etc/hosts properly?
Most likely not.  Basically, you need real Name Service.

It sounds like you do not have DNS configured, or at least you don't
have name service working (even without DNS).  In order words, you
can't determine the IP Address of 'fs02'.
