Administering HCL VersionVault
Learn about performing administrative tasks for an HCL VersionVault community including managing software licenses, user and group accounts, VersionVault server and client hosts, shared data, and the network that connects them.
Moving VOBs and relocating VOB data
HCL VersionVault includes tools for moving data and metadata to another VOB and for moving entire VOBs to another disk or host. You may need to use these tools to reorganize VOB directories, redistribute data storage, or rebalance server loads.
Moving VOBs
You cannot use an ordinary file-system copy utility to copy a VOB to another location. You must follow special procedures that maintain the integrity of VOB data and preserve permissions and ownership on VOB storage directories.
Moving a VOB on Linux or the UNIX system
There are two primary use cases for moving a VOB on Linux or the UNIX system: moving a VOB to a host that has the same architecture (binary data format) and moving a VOB to a host that has a different architecture.
Moving an ACL-protected VOB to a different Linux or UNIX platform
Because of different ACLs mechanisms, ACLs cannot be copied easily between different Linux or UNIX platforms.

Moving an ACL-protected VOB to a different Linux or UNIX platform

Because of different ACLs mechanisms, ACLs cannot be copied easily between different Linux or UNIX platforms.

In order to move a VOB between different Linux or UNIX platforms, the VOB must be backed up without ACLs, otherwise checkvob does not work well after a restore. After restoring without ACLs, follow the procedures for repairing the VOB storage ACLs (see Restoring ACL-protected VOBs).
