[OpenAFS] re-installing a "lost" volume

Hello,
  I have had a data-loss issue on the RAID with the root AFS volume. I 
have recovered the data, and transferred it to a different fileserver. I 
am curious if I can modify the VLDB to tell AFS that the volume is on a 
different machine. Does this pose any potential problems (particularly 
because the volume isn't available when I have to modify the VLDB)?  If 
this is unsuccessful is there a problem with modifying the VLDB back to 
its original setup?

Thanks in advance,
  Gabe Castillo
