Monitoring VOB storage

Regular monitoring of VOB storage helps to ensure that the VOB does not run out of storage space.

HCL VersionVault provides command-line and GUI tools that display information about disk space used by VOBs.
  • In the HCL VersionVault Administration Console, the VOB storage directory node for each VOB subnode of an HCL VersionVault host node shows current and historical disk space use for the VOB. The Derived Objects subnode of a VOB storage node shows disk space used by shared derived objects in the VOB and also lists views that hold references to these DOs.
  • The cleartool space –vob command shows current and historical disk space use for a VOB.
  • The cleartool dospace command shows disk space used by shared derived objects in the VOB. The display also lists views that hold references to these DOs.
Note: These tools depend on one or more scheduled jobs that generate the VOB space data they display. If these jobs are not enabled or have not been run, these tools do not produce any meaningful output. For more information about scheduled jobs, see Periodic maintenance.
