To mount/activate VOBs

Mount/activate VOBs to access source files from a dynamic view. You can perform this operation from the command line on the UNIX system and Linux and from either HCL VersionVault Windows Explorer or Windows Explorer on the Windows system.

• Mount/activate VOBs from the command line on the UNIX system and Linux:

  Public VOBs are mounted as part of the system start procedure of an HCL VersionVault host. If you deactivated VOBs and want to reestablish access, or if you want to activate private VOBs, use cleartool mount.

  
  # /opt/hcl/ccm/versionvault/cleartool mount /vobs/guivob 
  

  Only the root user or the owner can activate a private VOB.
