John,
The problem is that you can't run AFS client on any host that is a
member of an HP 9.xx cluster. The way it was described to me is that
HP simply fixed their kernel to disallow it.
So you either gotta use the translator or else get rid of the cluster
and run each host standalone.
What's that? "Why isn't this documented somewhere?" did you say?
I wish I knew...
