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 HCL VersionVault 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 HCL VersionVault 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 VersionVault 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 HCL VersionVault 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.
