In order to get our current installation in sync, I attempted to create
another RO root.cell on velma in the same partition that the RW is on but I
am unable to do that and get the error that Multiple ROs on a single server
aren't allowed. Will I cause problems if I remove the current RO (that is
on the wrong partition) then create a new one in the correct partition?
Then, if we move the RW root.cell to afs-vmc, the release should work?
Here is the results of 'vos examine root.cell' for our site:
[root@afs-vmc 2019-March]# vos examine root.cell
vsu_ClientInit: Could not get afs tokens, running unauthenticated.
