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.
Configuring non-VersionVault access on Linux® or the UNIX system
You can configure an HCL VersionVault host running Linux® or the UNIX system to support access to VOBs and dynamic views from computers that do not run HCL VersionVault.
Setting up an export view for non-VersionVault access
An export view for non-VersionVault access exports a view-extended pathname to the VOB mount point.
Export configurations
Multihop configurations, in which the exported VOB and export view are not located on the same host, should be used only when there is no alternative.
Restricting exports to particular hosts

Restricting exports to particular hosts

About this task

In a multihop configuration, use the –access option in each entry in the file /etc/exports.mvfs. This option restricts the export to specified non-VersionVault hosts and netgroups, and greatly reduces the likelihood of creating access cycles. For example:

/view/exp_vu/usr/src/proj –access=galileo:newton:bohr:pcgroup

When combining –access with other options, specify options as a comma-separated list that begins with a single hyphen.
