This morning, Dec 22, ECE computing facilities successfully moved our
AFS database servers to their new network addresses.  As part of this
process we have placed 3 temporary servers at the old locations so
that unsupported clients continue to function.

As I stated in my previous post about this project these temporary
servers will be taken off line on Wed, January 12.  Anyone running an
unsupported unix machine that is also an AFS client must update their
/usr/vice/etc/CellServDB to reflect the changes BEFORE that date.  If
you have an unsupported Windows NT machine running then you will need
to modify the ece.cmu.edu authentication servers.

Once again, you only need to take these steps if your machine is
UNSUPPORTED and RUNNING AFS!  ECE Computing Facilities will make the
necessary updates to supported machines.  If you don't fall under
these two catagories then you can stop reading now. 

On Unix machines you need to edit the file /usr/vice/etc/CellServDB to
reflect our new addresses.  The entry for ECE currently looks like
this:

>ece.cmu.edu              # Carnegie Mellon University - Elec. Comp. Eng. Dept.
128.2.251.100                   #porok.ece.cmu.edu
128.2.251.101                   #vicio.ece.cmu.edu
128.2.251.102                   #e-xing.ece.cmu.edu

The new entry should look like this:

>ece.cmu.edu              # Carnegie Mellon University - Elec. Comp. Eng. Dept.
128.2.129.7                   #porok.ece.cmu.edu
128.2.129.8                   #vicio.ece.cmu.edu
128.2.129.9                   #e-xing.ece.cmu.edu

Once you have made the changes, and saved them, reboot your machine.
When it comes back on line it will be using the new database servers.

JUST A REMINDER FOR UNIX ADMINISTRATORS: The sooner you do this, the
better.  Until you update the local copy of CellServDB on the machines
you are responsible for or your users will not be able to modify ACLs
on AFS volumes, change the passwords, or create/maniplute/delete PTS
groups.

On a Windows NT machine, as Administrator, you need to follow the
path:

	Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> AFS Client

Once there choose the "Cell Hosts" tab.  Find ece.cmu.edu, highlight
it and click the "Change" button.  Select each of the entries and
modify the address to match these values:


	porok.ece.cmu.edu     128.2.129.7
	vicio.ece.cmu.edu     128.2.129.8
	e-xing.ece.cmu.edu    128.2.129.9
	
When you are done editting click "Add/Change".  This may create
another entry in the table, or it may simply save the change, it
appears to depend on the patch level of the AFS client.  If it does
create a duplicate entry highlite the old entry and choose delete.

thanx
