Server storage location
The selected object is a ClearCase server storage location. A server storage location is a shared directory on a ClearCase server that has been designated for use as VOB or view storage. 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.
The columns of this display show the following properties for each server storage location known to the host's ClearCase registry:
- 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.
Actions

: Opens a dialog box that lets you confirm your intention to remove the selected server storage location object from the ClearCase registry.
