23.2 Creating a Storage Location on NAS

Creating ClearCase server storage locations on a NAS device provides an easy way to start taking advantage of the device's storage capacity. This example uses the cleartool mkstgloc command to create a VOB storage location named ccnasvobstg in a UNIX region.

cleartool mkstgloc -vob -host ccvobsvr1 -gpath /net/nasdevice/vobstg/nasvobstg \
-hpath /net/nasdevice/vobstg/nasvobstg ccnasvobstg /net/nasdevice/vobstg/nasvobstg

A similar example creates a storage location in a Windows region:

cleartool mkstgloc -vob -host ccvobsvr1 -gpath \\nasdevice\vobstg\nasvobstg ^
-hpath \\nasdevice\vobstg\nasvobstg ccnasvobstg \\nasdevice\vobstg\nasvobstg

Use cleartool mkstgloc -view with similar options to create a view storage location.

The ClearCase processes serving VOBs or views in a server storage location that resides on a NAS device run on the host you name in the -host option to mkstgloc. Choose a host that has enough processing power to handle the VOBs or views you intend to create in a NAS-based server storage location.

NOTE: You cannot use the ClearCase Server Storage Wizard to create a server storage location on a NAS device.
