If the VOB has remote pools

When you move a VOB that has remote storage pools, additional preparation is needed.

About this task

Any of the procedures in this section can be used to move a VOB that has remote pools. Before you begin the move, determine whether the VOB has any remote pools and verify that the pools are accessible after the move.

Procedure

  1. Determine whether the VOB has any remote storage pools.

    cleartool lspool –long –invob /proj/libpub | egrep '(^pool|link)'
    pool "cdft"
    pool "ddft"
    pool "sdft"
    pool "s_2"
      pool storage link target pathname "/net/vobsvr04/ccase_pools/s_2"

    The output of lspool shows that this VOB has one remote pool, s_2.

  2. Verify that the remote pools are accessible on the target host.
    Moving a VOB storage directory does not move any of its remote storage pools. You must verify that the new VOB host can use the same global pathnames used by the current VOB host to access each remote storage pool:
    • If you are moving the VOB to another location on the same host, these global pathnames remain valid.
    • If you are moving the VOB to a different host, log on to that host and verify that all the remote storage pools can be accessed from that host.
