Source or DO pool: Fixing a misprotected container on Windows

About this task

  • Description: Pool has an incorrect FAT RO attribute or NTFS ACL.
  • Cause: User copied or restored pools or containers without preserving protection information.
  • Fix processing: Reset container's RO attribute and ACL as necessary. If the VOB owner's rights to pool contents are insufficient, checkvob reports, but cannot fix, container ACLs.

If the checkvob command cannot repair protection problems, you must log on as a privileged user, and use the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. In Windows® Explorer, click File > Properties. On the Security page, take ownership of all files and directories in the VOB's storage directory.
    Note: If you have identified only a small number of affected files, take ownership of these files only, to avoid a time-consuming checkvob operation in Step 6.
  2. For all files and directories in the VOB storage directory, use the Security page to grant full rights to the HCL VersionVault administrators group and the VOB owner.
  3. Log out.
  4. Log on as the VOB owner.
  5. Take ownership of all files and directories in the VOB storage directory.
  6. Run checkvob –force –fix –protection to fix protections on storage pools:
