7.1 Preparing the UNIX VOB or View Host contents@cc_inter.hlp">

To prepare the UNIX VOB or view host so that you can use its VOBs or views on Windows:

1. If you have not already done so, install patches as instructed in the ClearCase customer area of the Rational Web site.

2. Determine whether any UNIX VOBs use symbolically linked storage pools (such pools are created with mkpool -ln). Windows Tags for UNIX VOBs with Symbolically Linked Storage describes how to make this determination and how to perform a required extra step before registering such VOBs for a Windows region.

NOTE: If a UNIX view has symbolically linked private storage (mkview -ln), you cannot use the view from a Windows computer if you access that view using an NFS client product. You can use that view if you are accessing the view using the Syntax TAS SMB server product.
