    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.
