HCL VersionVault server processes
HCL VersionVault is a distributed application. Many of its operations involve several host computers and several server processes on each host.
vob_server process
For each VOB, a long-lived vob_server process runs on the VOB host. The vob_server manipulates data in the VOB storage pools in response to requests from client processes.

vob_server process

For each VOB, a long-lived vob_server process runs on the VOB host. The vob_server manipulates data in the VOB storage pools in response to requests from client processes.

The vob_server is the only process that creates or deletes VOB data containers; only the VOB owner or a privileged user can modify VOB data containers and storage pools. For more information, see The VOB storage directory.

A vob_server process is started as needed by the albd_server process. It remains active until any of the following events occur:

The VOB is removed with the rmvob command.
HCL VersionVault is stopped on the VOB server host.
The VOB server host is shut down and restarted.

When it begins execution, the vob_server reads configuration information from the file vob_server.conf in the VOB storage directory. Values in this file are established by the vob_snapshot_setup utility and other commands. Do not modify this file.
