Creating a VOB on a NAS device

You can create a VOB with storage on a NAS device. Its server processes run on an HCL VersionVault host.

About this task

When you use a NAS device to provide VOB storage, create one or more VOB storage locations on your NAS device (as described in Creating server storage locations on a NAS device) and then use mkvob –stgloc to create VOBs in this storage location.

Example

For example, in a Windows® region where you have created a server storage location named nasvobstg, the following command creates a VOB with the tag \nasvob in that storage location:

cleartool mkvob –tag \nasvob –stgloc nasvobstg

If you do not use a server storage location, you must specify the host name, global path, host-local path, and VOB storage pathname on the mkvob command-line. For example, the following command creates a VOB with the tag/vobs/nasvob. The VOB is served by a vob_server process running on HCL VersionVault host vobsvr1 (a computer running Linux or the UNIX system) and has its storage on NAS device mounted by vobsvr1 at /net/nasdevice.

cleartool mkvob –tag /vobs/nasvob –host vobsvr1 –gpath /net/nasdevice/vobstg/nasvob.vbs \
–hpath /net/nasdevice/vobstg/nasvob.vbs /net/nasdevice/vobstg/nasvob.vbs
