Mapping storage pools in an existing VOB tag

About this task

If you inadvertently create a tag in a Windows® region for a VOB with remote pools but neglect to specify the poolmap, Windows® hosts cannot access the VOB until you modify or replace the tag. The easiest way to do this is to remove the tag using the DevOps Code ClearCase® Administration Console or the rmtag command, and import it again as described in Creating tags in a new registry region. You can also use the cleartool rmtag and mktag commands to remove the old tag and create a new one that has the same name and a split pool map.

Alternatively, you can use the DevOps Code ClearCase® Administration Console to modify or replace the tag with one that includes a split pool map, using the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to one of the following nodes:
    • The Tags subnode of the VOB storage node for the host where the VOB storage directory resides
    • The VOB Tags subnode for the tag's region in the ClearCase® Registry node
  2. Select a VOB tag in the Details pane.
  3. Click Action > Properties.
    This command opens a window in which you can edit properties of the tag if you are a member of the DevOps Code ClearCase® administrators group.
  4. In the window, click the Mount Options page.
    Enter a pool map string in the Split Pool Map field, using the syntax described in Poolmap syntax.
