Well, normally you just use vos move to move all the volumes from one file
server to the other.  But the way in which you're asking the question
makes me think that there may be some deeper misunderstandings.

AFS volumes should live in only one place (except for read-only replicas),
so you probably don't want to try to copy one volume to multiple servers
at the same time unless you have very special needs.
