Network Appliance Filer

These topics describe configuration procedures that you must perform before you can use a Network Appliance Filer for VOB or view storage as described.

Data on a Network Appliance filer is organized in volumes. A volume is an independent file system with its own RAID groups. Every RAID group must contain at least two disks (the default is 8). It is recommended that you create volumes with at least four data disks if they contain frequently accessed DevOps Code ClearCase® data. Smaller volumes may be adequate for storage pools containing infrequently accessed or read-only data.

In addition to creating volumes to hold DevOps Code ClearCase data on a Network Appliance Filer, you must also create qtrees to manage access control for the files and directories in these volumes, and you must use the appropriate commands to make these volumes accessible to all clients.
