Hi!

another way to copy the volumes (WITH the ACLs and quota) is to vos dump
them and vos restore in the other cell (if users/groups are the same).
Had done that some different times here and it worked well.

But PLEASE just add the second server to the cell and vos move /vos
addsite (release, convertROtoRW) the volumes. It make life MUCH easier.

And for a test, just add the second server, vos addsite, vos release the
volumes and see if it works well. No risk in it, if it fails, just set
second server off.

And for your own security: at least 2 DB servers and 2 fileservers are
very useful for a "stable" cell.
But this depends on the needs you=B4ve got.

MfG,
Lars Schimmer
