I have found this guide helpful for Redhat-based distros:

I suspect that you will be using the demand-attached fileserver (DAFS). 
In that case, the "bos create ...fileserver..." and "bos create 
...volserver..."  commands will be different. For an example of the bos 
create command for DAFS, Look at the EXAMPLES section of the 
doc/man-pages/pod8/fileserver.pod in git or look at
http://git.openafs.org/?p=openafs.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/man-pages/pod8/fileserver.pod;h=285a6d4eeafe71da8f0210b99ddadc4265ed0b24;hb=HEAD
