Correct, if you want to run this from another server (such as the SCM)
you would have to do something like,
SCM$ volutil -h non-SCM create_rep /vicepa volumename 7F000XXX replicaid

This repopulated the volume location database (VLDB), every server has a
copy of this file and uses it when a client asks for the location of a
specific volume replica.

You can also run 'bldvldb.sh non-SCM', then it will only fetch the
current volumelist from the newly initialized server 'non-SCM'. Ofcourse
the newly created volume replica will be completely empty. So the next
step would be to use a Coda client to trigger resolution for each file.
This is not too hard as long as you know where your volumes are mounted
in the tree.
cd /coda/path/to/volume ; ls -lR
