VOB administration
Because VOBs are the principal repository for artifacts under DevOps Code ClearCase® control, VOB administration is one of the DevOps Code ClearCase administrator’s most important tasks.
VOB storage management
VOB storage grows in proportion to the number of developers who use the VOB and the rate at which they create and change artifacts in it.

VOB storage management

VOB storage grows in proportion to the number of developers who use the VOB and the rate at which they create and change artifacts in it.

VOB storage management is an important administrative responsibility. It includes three principal tasks:

Monitoring the storage each VOB consumes
Controlling VOB growth by removing unneeded data and metadata. Much VOB data and metadata must be preserved for an extended period, but some of it loses value quickly and can be safely removed.
Creating additional storage capacity by adding new storage pools to a VOB, relocating data from one VOB to another, or moving an entire VOB to another partition or host.
