Server Storage Configuration wizard
When you install DevOps Code ClearCase® on a server host, you can specify that the host will provide DevOps Code ClearCase server storage locations in which DevOps Code ClearCase client hosts can create VOB and view storage directories. The Server Storage Configuration wizard enables you to specify these locations on the DevOps Code ClearCase server host.
When installing DevOps Code ClearCase on a server host, if you specify that you wish to make storage locations on the server available to DevOps Code ClearCase clients for creating VOB and/or view storage directories, the Server Storage Configuration Wizard starts when you log on after the installation reboot.
If you choose not to configure storage locations, this computer can still act as a VOB or view server. Not configuring storage locations means only that DevOps Code ClearCase clients will not automatically create VOB or view storage on this computer. If you do choose to configure DevOps Code ClearCase server storage locations on this server, resources on this computer may be automatically consumed by DevOps Code ClearCase clients.
The initial window provides three options for configuring the server locations:
- Yes, start storage configuration now..
- No, do the configuration later. (You will be prompted again at next log on.) Use the wizard to configure the server locations later. You will be prompted at the next login with the same initial choices.
- No, I will set up the configuration from the cleartool command line. You will not be prompted to configure the server storage locations in the future. However, until you configure one or more server storage locations on this host or another DevOps Code ClearCase server host (with the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console or the mkstgloc command), DevOps Code ClearCase client hosts cannot browse for server storage locations when using the VOB and view creation wizards, and users will have to specify a location for VOB or view storage.
See the Administrator's help for information about using the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console or the mkstgloc command to configure server storage.
