Move of afsdb2

 
Description: 

On March 28, the central AFS server afsdb2 needs to be physically
moved due to a hardware re-arrangement in the computing center.

The move will require a downtime of the server of about one hour.
During this time, AFS clients that have the preference to connect
to afsdb2 as their first central AFS server will experience a
slowdown on logins of some ten seconds before the client will
fail over to one of the other two central servers.
 

Reason for this intervention: 

Physical move of devices
