I am following the QuickStart guide to "Storing AFS Binaries in AFS"
and got this error:
=====
[root@smb1 afs]# vos create smb1 /vicepa  afsdoc  -maxquota  0
Could not get an Id for volume afsdoc
    u: no quorum elected
u: no quorum elected
Error in vos create command.
u: no quorum elected
=====

Note this is my first OpenAFS server so there is not another DB server,
maybe something obvious is missing, please help.

Thanks,
Qing
