Yes, /vicepX are your AFS Server volumes, where the server stores
your AFS data.

Why?  AFS supports multiple /vice partitions.  The only constraint is
that your volume cannot cross multiple partitions.

Just mount your disk as /vicepb and "vos move" all your volumes from
"server a" to "server b".  Then, later, if you want to remount the
disk as /vicepa, you can do so and just rebuild your vldb.
