=head2 Client CellServDB
-The client version of the CellServDB file lists the database server
-machines in the local cell and any foreign cell that is to be accessible
-from the local client machine. Database server machines run the
-Authentication Server, Backup Server, Protection Server, and Volume
-Location (VL) Server (the B<kaserver>, B<buserver>, B<ptserver>, and
-B<vlserver>) processes, which maintain the cell's administrative AFS
-databases.
+Along with AFSDB entries in DNS, the client version of the CellServDB file
+lists the database server machines in the local cell and any foreign cell

+Protection Server, and Volume Location (VL) Server (the B<kaserver>,

The Cache Manager and other processes running on a client machine use the
list of a cell's database server machines when performing several common

The Cache Manager reads the CellServDB file into kernel memory as it
-initializes, and not again until the machine next reboots. To enable users
-on the local machine to continue accessing the cell correctly, update the
-file whenever a database server machine is added to or removed from a
-cell. To update the kernel-resident list of database server machines

The F<CellServDB> file is in ASCII format and must reside in the

=head2 Server CellServDB
The server version of the F<CellServDB> file lists the local cell's
-database server machines. These machines run the Authentication Server,
-Backup Server, Protection Server, and Volume Location (VL) Server (the
-B<kaserver>, B<buserver>, B<ptserver>, and B<vlserver>) processes, which
-maintain the cell's administrative AFS databases. The initial version of
-the file is created with the B<bos setcellname> command during the
-installation of the cell's server machine, which is automatically recorded
-as the cell's first database server machine. When adding or removing
-database server machines, be sure to update this file appropriately. It

The database server processes consult the F<CellServDB> file to learn
about their peers, with which they must maintain constant connections in
F</usr/afs/etc> directory, it is customary to edit only the copy of the
file stored on the system control machine. Otherwise, edit the file on
each server machine individually. For instructions on adding and removing

installing additional server machines.
