It requires a change to the client CellServDBs, since rosebud is
currently the first machine clients try to contact as a volume
location server. If we do not change the client CellServDBs, then
after the move, rosebud will not exist, and clients will time out.
If we do change the client CellServDBs, it requires coordinating with
probe and dealing with outside sites. I think we should do this at a
later time, and move both servers at once (leaving a volume location
server behind on 18.70 for a short period of time).
