Configuring DevOps Code ClearCase to support Samba
About this task
This task is applicable to all DevOps Code ClearCase® clients on Windows that have the MVFS installed and that will access Samba shares.
The default MVFS settings (1800 with scaling factor 1) do not need any modification to work with latest Samba VOB servers if Samba hosts are running a current Samba version. Earlier Samba versions (2.x to 3.x) require specific MFVS settings.
If upgrading from an earlier release of ClearCase, you might have old values in these settings. Do the following steps to check and remove these settings, if applicable.
Note: Samba Winbind as a Unix login provider is not supported for ClearCase hosts. You can use LDAP/NIS/third-party
providers (Centrify, QAS) instead of Winbind. For more information about Windbind Policy, see
technote 396639.
