Administering DevOps Code ClearCase®
Learn about performing administrative tasks for a DevOps Code ClearCase® community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, ClearCase server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
Moving VOBs and relocating VOB data
DevOps Code ClearCase® includes tools for moving data and metadata to another VOB and for moving entire VOBs to another disk or host. You may need to use these tools to reorganize VOB directories, redistribute data storage, or rebalance server loads.
Moving VOBs
You cannot use an ordinary file-system copy utility to copy a VOB to another location. You must follow special procedures that maintain the integrity of VOB data and preserve permissions and ownership on VOB storage directories.
Moving a VOB on Linux or the UNIX system
There are two primary use cases for moving a VOB on Linux or the UNIX system: moving a VOB to a host that has the same architecture (binary data format) and moving a VOB to a host that has a different architecture.
If the VOB is exported for non-ClearCase® access
Before you begin to move a VOB that has been exported for non-ClearCase® access, stop any export views that export the VOB. After the move is complete, restart the export views.

If the VOB is exported for non-ClearCase access

Before you begin to move a VOB that has been exported for non-ClearCase® access, stop any export views that export the VOB. After the move is complete, restart the export views.
