I am running an AFS cell for a Debian cluster and now in the process of
relocating the openafs-dbserver and openafs-fileserver to a new machine. I
am thinking the below would be what I generally need to do, but I am hoping
someone more experienced with AFS would provide feedback.

The old machine is Debian 7, the new is 8.

1. Install openafs-dbserver and openafs-fileserver on new machine.
2. Configure new machine as 'secondary site' for the OpenAFS admin
databases with the 'synchronization site' being the old machine.
3. Set the new machine as the synchronization site, thus turning the old
machine into just a secondary site.
4. Move volumes ('vos move') from the old machine to the new machine.
5. Stop the old machine from acting as secondary site.

Any feedback is appreciated.
