DevOps Code ClearCase product family hosts

Every host in a DevOps Code ClearCase® network plays one or more of the following roles.
  • Client host. Each DevOps Code ClearCase user works at a client host, running command-line programs and graphical user interfaces, and other software (for example, development tools and operating system utilities). A client installation can include the multiversion file system (MVFS), which provides file-system support for dynamic views.
  • Server host. Any host on which a DevOps Code ClearCase data repository can be created is a server host. Some hosts might be dedicated servers on which client software rarely runs (and might not be installed). Other server hosts might also be clients.
  • License server host. Every DevOps Code ClearCase community must have a license server host, which is normally designated during site preparation. The license server supplies licenses that allow DevOps Code ClearCase commands to run. Each client or server host in the community is initially associated with a license server during installation. License servers and license administration contains more information about the license server and license administration.
  • Registry server host. Every DevOps Code ClearCase community must have a registry server host, which is normally designated during site preparation. The DevOps Code ClearCase registry provides a way for members of the community to locate shared resources, such as data repositories. Each client or server host in the community is associated with a registry server during installation. For more information about the DevOps Code ClearCase registry and the registry server host, see Administering the DevOps Code ClearCase registry.
  • CCRC WAN server host. At least one host in the network acts as the CCRC WAN server host. The CCRC WAN server provides application support for the DevOps Code ClearCase Remote Client.
  • Network-attached storage (NAS) devices. These devices can be used to store any DevOps Code ClearCase programs or data. NAS devices do not run DevOps Code ClearCase; they provide storage that DevOps Code ClearCase hosts access over a local area network. For information about configuring access to a certified NAS device, see DevOps Code ClearCase and network-attached storage devices.
  • Non-ClearCase hosts running Linux or the UNIX system. Hosts running Linux or the UNIX system that cannot run DevOps Code ClearCase can access DevOps Code ClearCase data, with limitations, through standard network file-system facilities. For more information, see Configuring non-ClearCase access on Linux or the UNIX system.
