Regkey: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\OpenAFS\Client\CellServDB\<Cell Name>]

Type: REG_SZ

Default: <none>

This value names an alternative cell to which this cell should be linked. When two cells are linked by the OpenAFS client, volume lookups that fail in the specified cell will be searched for in the linked cell and when tokens are requested for one of the cells they will be obtained for both. This functionality can be used for example to develop a test cell that is equivalent to a production cell with the exception that it substitutes test versions of volumes for the production versions. Another use is to assist in the transition from one cell name to another.
