I basically see about the RO and the RW volumes. Is my next step to put a volume on the server (I'm adding to the cell)? If so, I have:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
vos examine -id root.afs
root.afs 53687000 RW 10 K On-line
main.edu /vicepa
RWrite 536870000 ROnly 536870001 Backup 53687002
MaxQuota 5000 K
Creation Fri Dec 28 13:48:13 2001
Last Update Sun Feb 3 14:00:57 2002
0 accesses in the past day (i.e., vnode references)
RWrite: 536870000 ROnly: 536870001 Backup: 536870002
number of sites -> 2
server main.edu partition /vicepa RW Site
server main.edu partition /vicepd RO Site
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[bob@raven]~% vos listvol -server add.edu
Total number of volumes on server add.edu partition /vicepe: 0
Total volumes onLine 0 ; Total volumes offLine 0 ; Total busy 0
