Testing the Samba configuration with HCL VersionVault

About this task

To verify that HCL VersionVault and Samba are working together properly, use the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. On a VOB or view server running Linux® or the UNIX® system, install and configure Samba as described earlier, creating shares for VOB storage and for view storage.
  2. Verify that your HCL VersionVault user and group assignments are appropriate, as described in VOB and view access control.
  3. Verify that you can access VOBs and views on the server from a client running Linux or the UNIX system.
  4. Log on to an HCL VersionVault client on Windows®. Use the Region Synchronizer to import VOB tags and view tags into the Windows region, for VOBs and views hosted on the server running Linux or the UNIX system.
  5. Verify that you can use these views and VOBs by performing some basic HCL VersionVault operations (for example, mkelem, checkin, and checkout) in them.
