Re: new RW root.cell

I got that to work for root.cell and now I find that root.afs is in the
same situation.  Does anyone see any harm in doing the same steps for
root.afs?  It's current status is:

[root@afs-vmc 2019-March]# vos volinfo -id root.afs -localauth
root.afs                          536901418 RW        290 K  On-line
    daphne.psc.edu /vicepdc

    number of sites -> 5
       *server daphne.psc.edu <http://daphne.psc.edu> partition /vicepdc RW
Site *
       server velma.psc.edu partition /vicepcb RO Site
       server fred.psc.edu partition /vicepbd RO Site
       server daphne.psc.edu partition /vicepdd RO Site
      * server afs-vmc.psc.edu <http://afs-vmc.psc.edu> partition /vicepgb
RO Site  -- Not released*

So I will remove the daphe vicepdd RO volume using 'vos remove' , 'vos
release' root.afs, create a RO on daphne vicepc using 'vos remsite', then
move the volume to afs-vmc partition vicepgb using 'vos move'.

BUT, should the afs.root and afs.cell volumes be on different servers as
they were in our initial implementation?  I couldn't find anything in the
doc that states this but wanted to make sure before I went ahead and did
it.

Thanks very much.  -susan
