[OpenAFS] Question about redundant main servers

[Daniel.Wicke@physik.uni-wuppertal.de]

Hi all,

I hope this is the appropriate mailing list to ask my question.
If not, please point me to the appropriate list.

We have set up an AFS cell with currently 3 servers.

Two of these shall be the main central servers which I'd like to
have for redundancy. The other one currently represents any further
secondary servers.

I checked that the clients can access the files still available and
afs-users can login when I turn off any single of the two main servers.
However today I noticed that only one of the two main servers would
boot properly when the other is disconnected/off.
The other doesn't start its AFS services.

What I'd like to know is what might be the difference between the two
servers. What can check to find out? They both run the full list of servers:
bosserver kaserver buserver ptserver vlserver
volserver fileserver
