Restoring a VOB on network-attached storage

You cannot use vob_restore to restore a VOB whose database is stored on a NAS device.

About this task

To restore a VOB to a NAS device, use the procedure described in Restoring a VOB from backup without vob_restore. When you register the restored VOB and create a tag for it, you must supply the –host, –hpath, and –gpath options to the cleartool register and mktag commands.

Example

For example, if the VOB had been restored to the /vobst_aux directory on a NAS device, you would use the following register and mktag commands:

cleartool register –vob –host ccvobsvr1 –hpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs –gpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs cleartool mktag –vob –replace –host ccvobsvr1 –tag /vobs/flex –hpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs –gpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs
