Creating VOBs

Most administrators use storage locations (stglocs) to configure VOB storage on a filer.

Here is a sample mkstgloc command for all OS's except Solaris. Note that it specifies the explicit mount point for the -hpath (used by the VOB server itself) and the creation path, and an automounted path for the -gpath (used by HCL VersionVault full clients to access storage pools).

cleartool mkstgloc -vob -host hostname -hpath /nfs4-filer/vol/cc_acl_nfsv4/stg/vobhost.vobs -gpath /net/filer/vol/cc_acl_nfsv4/stg/vobhost.vobs vobhost.vobs /nfs4-filer/vol/cc_acl_nfsv4/stg/vobhost.vobs

For Solaris, use this command:

cleartool mkstgloc -vob -host hostname -hpath /nfs4-filer/stg/solaris.vobs  -gpath /net/filer/vol/cc_acl_nfsv4/stg/solaris-host.vobs solaris.vobs  /nfs4-filer/stg/solaris.vobs

Create the VOB:

cleartool mkvob -stgloc vobhost.vobs -tag /my/vob/tag

A warning like the following

cleartool: Warning: File system does not support ACLs: "s/sdft".
cleartool: Warning: File system does not support ACLs: "d/ddft".
cleartool: Warning: File system does not support ACLs: "c/cdft".

means that NFSv4 ACLs are not working properly. Review and correct your configuration.
