Sorry my unclean description. I don't want to move the volumes. I want 
to change the physical disks between two servers. Server A has 400GB 
data container and should stay serve as an AFS server. Server B has 
800GB data container and currently is also an AFS fileserver. However, 
we need to switch the RAID containers (by changing harddisks) between 
those 2 servers and use server B for different purpose.

So the question is:
Can I move all volumes from server A to server B and then take the B's 
drives and put them into server A?

Thank you.
