Server storage location properties

A server storage location Properties dialog box displays properties of the selected server storage location. A ClearCase server storage location is a shared directory on a ClearCase server that can be used for VOB or view storage. ClearCase server storage locations, which are usually created at server install time, are cataloged in the ClearCase registry and advertised to clients for use by VOB- and view-creation tools.

This dialog box displays the following server storage location properties:

  • Tag: The tag, or name, by which this server storage location is known.
  • Comment: An optional comment describing the purpose of the storage location.
  • Region: The region in which this storage location is advertised.
  • Host: The name of the host on which this storage location resides.
  • Host-local path: The path to the storage directory, relative to the host.
  • Global path: A path that all hosts in the region can use to access the storage location.
  • Type: Type of storage (VOB or view).
  • UUID: The unique identifier of the storage location; used internally by ClearCase to uniquely identify this object.

A user with adequate permissions can use this dialog box to change any of these properties that are not read-only. All other users are informed that they have insufficient privileges to change information in the ClearCase registry and are then allowed to view, but not change, the properties.
