CellServDB server configuration for AFS Cell CS.CMU.EDU

Configuration information for Macintosh and Windows OpenAFS clients

In 2020, SCS Computing Facilities moved forward with a migration of our AFS dbservers to newer infrastructure which will culminate in October 2022 with the decomissioning of the old servers. Any computers that that only reference these old servers will lose access to the CS.CMU.EDU cell in AFS until their server list is updated.

Please follow the instructions below to add the new CellServDB server information.
