I am trying to add a new fileserver to my 1st afs server to increase the
storage space. I did managed to get the 2nd afs server sync with the 1st

"fs diskfree /afs".

You are asking the wrong question ;-)

diskfree shows how much space is left of your quota and the partition
your volume is in (and only the rw-version, iirc).

You can ask:

"vos listaddrs" to show all your fileserver names.

And then "vos partinfo $server" for each server.

Must I perform another step or the storage space should automatically
combine once it sync?

There is no command "give me all the available space on all of my afs
servers". You need to write a little script for that. So space does not
combine or sum up.

Adding a fileserver is a very simple task:

* Install server binaries
* create /vicepXX-partitions
* start upclient (or copy ThisCell, CellServDB and afs.key to your new
  server)
* start fs-service (bos create fs fs ... - like on the first machine)

Is there any guide out there to help me?

It's a bit out of date, but the general steps are still the same
