I guess this should be rpc2portmap/updatesrv/updateclnt.

Next, you would typically want to have the configuration done before you
actually start the Coda server. Most of the files are read only during
startup and you want both servers to come up with the right information.

Run vice-setup for the non-scm case, it will use updatefetch and
updateclnt to pull in copies of the necessary configuration files from
updatesrv on the SCM. You might have to edit vicetab on the SCM to also
include,

<new_server_name> /vicepa ftree width=64,depth=3

and 'touch /vicepa/FTREEDB' on the new server to allow it to recognise
and start using the /vicepa partition.

I believe the non-scm server only needs the updateclnt daemon.

Yeah, working on that part. It is kind of tricky because a lot of
replication things are hanging off the VSG's which are assumed to be
fixed for the lifetime of the servergroup.

Right now, when adding a new server to an existing setup, the best
solution is to simply create a new server entry and new VSGDB entries
for the replication groups. Then restart all servers, and create new
volumes for the new VSG. Maybe it hadn't rung a bell yet, but VSGDB
stands for VSG database, it describes all know groups of server that can
potentially hold replicated volumes, i.e. volume storage groups.
