If vol1 on filerA is marked as "root" (use 'vol status' to determine this),
then you can remove that shelf from filerA and put it on filerB. FilerB will
boot this easily. Once that volume is on filerB, you can do a 'vol rename vol1
vol0'
to rename the volume. Of course, this will change what your /etc/exports file
will look like.
If vol1 is not marked as the root volume, you can still move the disks, but
you'll need to boot off floppys and chose the 5 option and issue a 'vol options
vol1 root'
command. (Or something like that... I don't have a filer handy at the moment to
verify)
Hope that helps.
