7.2 Creating a New Network Regioncontents@cc_inter.hlp">

Because Windows and UNIX have different network file naming conventions, Windows and UNIX computers each need to use platform-specific VOB- and view-tags that conform to those naming conventions. Whenever you must create two tags that refer to the same VOB or view, each tag must be created in a separate ClearCase network region. Creating a new network region is a software procedure; it implies no change in hardware configuration, and the region need not reflect physical locations or geographic regions.

Like VOBs and views, network regions are registered in the ClearCase registry. To create a new region, use the cleartool mkregion -tag region-name command. From a ClearCase host running Windows, you can also create a region using the ClearCase Registry snap-in to the ClearCase Administration Console. See Adding a Network Region for more information on this subject.

Assigning Computers to the New Network Regioncontents@cc_inter.hlp">

After the new region has been created, follow the procedures in To Move a Host into a New Registry Region to add computers to it.
