Gary,

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately that didn't work:

$ vos remsite -server 130.85.24.58 -partition /vicepa -id 536988828
 Could not lock the VLDB entry for volume 536988828
VLDB: no such entry
Error in vos remsite command.
VLDB: no such entry

Something I did just now was change the address of the non-existent server
on the subnet we no-loner use to a temporary afs file server on a subnet we
are using:

vos changeaddr -oldaddr 130.85.60.43 -newaddr 130.85.24.58

I did read the caveats in the man page before running the above command.
This at least points references to the non-existent fileserver to an
existing server. I was hoping I could do a syncvldb and it would clean up
the reference to the invalid volume but to no avail.
