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 cross-platform file-system access
NFS client products
HCL supports several NFS client products that provide Windows computers with access to VOBs and dynamic views on Linux or the UNIX system.
Disabling automatic case conversion
Some NFS client products change the capitalization of file names by default, typically by converting to lowercase. This behavior can cause problems for the MVFS and cleartool commands so you must disable case conversion in the product you are using.

About this task

As noted in Case-sensitivity, different platforms have different rules for treatment of character case in file-name lookups. Typically, you can use a command-line option to disable case conversion for a particular NFS mount. However, remote storage directories are mounted automatically by HCL VersionVault. For correct behavior on these mounts, configure NFS to disable case conversion for all mounts.
