To unmount/deactivate VOBs
About this task
Unmounting/deactivating a VOB frees resources on your computer.
Unmount VOBs in a dynamic view when you no longer need to use them or if you need to reclaim system resources.
When
you unmount a VOB, the view-private files in the VOB namespace are inaccessible
until you reactivate it.
Windows tip: Unmounted
VOBs do not remount when you log on.
You can perform this operation from the command line on the UNIX system and Linux and from either HCL VersionVault Windows Explorer or Windows Explorer on the Windows system.
- Unmount/deactivate VOBs from the command line on the UNIX system and
Linux:Use cleartool umount vob-tag. For example:
cleartool umount /rel4
This command unmounts the VOB that is registered with VOB tag /rel4. The VOB tag by which an individual VOB is referenced is the same as the full path to its mount point.
