Let's assume for the sake of this discussion that the
old server (downserver) cannot be brought up in order
to syncvldb against the empty /vicep mount points.

Let's also assume that OpenAFS is not being used, but
IBM AFS is being used.  I know this is the openafs-info
list and all, but I'm sure many of you have legacy
experience with IBM/Transarc AFS.  That is, 'vos changeloc'
is not available.

My condolences :/

My concern is the wording of the 'vos delentry' instructions:

     "A specified volume can be any of 3 types (RW, RO, or
      backup), but the ENTIRE ENTRY is removed no matter
      what type is provided."

Does that mean if I 'vos delentry -server downserver' and,
while processing the VLDB for things to delete, it will
delete ALL replica site information for a RO that was on
downserver?

I'm not sure.  But assuming it IS, it's not a problem. Simply sort out
which volumes were RO, and instead of doing "vos delentry" on them do
"vos remsite".
