You need a few things working.  Kerberos, openafs-client, kmod, and
kmod-openafs.

- Kerberos: this is for authentication.  You need to set your realms in
  /etc/krb5.conf.  Something like this (of course you have to use
  whatever is appropriate for your organisation, s/cern.ch/myorg.org/):

    [realms]
     CERN.CH = {
      default_domain = cern.ch
      kdc = cerndc.cern.ch
    }
    
    [domain_realm]
     .cern.ch = CERN.CH
     cern.ch = CERN.CH

- openafs-client, kmod, and kmod-openafs: this was provided by
  RPMFusion, but the maintainer changed jobs where it was not needed
  anymore and has been orphaned since then.  This was about a year ago I
  think.  kmod is available in the normal repos, the openafs bits can
  now be found on these coprs: jsbillings/openafs,
  jsbillings/openafs-kmod.

- If you don't want to depend on the timely build of kmods for every
  kernel update, you have to switch to dkms instead of kmod.

Hope this helps,
