Transferring mastership of a replica object
About this task
Mastership of the replica object affects replica-modification activities (renaming the replica, changing its properties, or deleting it). You must perform these activities at the replica that masters the replica object.
A self-mastering replica masters its own replica object. A replica must be self-mastering for you to perform some administrative operations on it (for example, raising the feature level). If each site has its own administrator for DevOps Code ClearCase® MultiSite, self-mastering replicas simplify replica maintenance because each one can be maintained at its own site. However, you may want to master all replica objects at a hub replica. In this case, you can transfer mastership to individual sites at the request of the site administrator, and transfer mastership back to the hub replica after the administrative operation has been completed.
