Administering HCL VersionVault
Configuring non-VersionVault access on Linux® or the UNIX systemYou can configure an HCL VersionVault host running Linux® or the UNIX system to support access to VOBs and dynamic views from computers that do not run HCL VersionVault.
Setting up an export view for non-VersionVault accessAn export view for non-VersionVault access exports a view-extended pathname to the VOB mount point.
Export configurationsMultihop configurations, in which the exported VOB and export view are not located on the same host, should be used only when there is no alternative.

Working with multihop configurations

About this task

If you must use a multihop configuration, ensure that the VOB host (and its pool hosts, if any) never request network services from the view host. This guarantees that no process on the VOB and pool hosts creates an access cycle with the view host. Do not request, either directly or through some other host, HCL VersionVault services or any other network services from the export view host.

One way to achieve this goal is to prohibit users from running processes, either directly or indirectly, on the export view host. Such a prohibition excludes these cases:

Creation of home directories
Remote logons from an HCL VersionVault host
Remote backups of the view server hosts by the VOB server or pool hosts

It also excludes other cases that resulted in a similar pattern of access.
