Here /usr/afs is on its own partition as well as the /vicepxx's.
As long as /usr/afs is intact - or backed up - the partitions can be
physically moved to a new server or recovered or whatever.
When new hardware is built, the drives are physiclly relocated to the
new server and voila...

It only gets tricky, when you have two machines claiming to be the
same server...;-)
It was using FibreChannel devices, which are very easy to 'move'.
It included moving the IP address of the fileserver as well, to
avoid the syncvldb and syncserv headache.
Yes, FibreChannels are very good for that.
Thinking more about that, you could have even the root-partition on
the external storage. Having a boot-cdrom with the right
kernel+modules, all you need to do is to plug it into the standby
machine and boot it off the cdrom. Kind of manual server
virtualization...
