17.5 Remote View Storage

Like VOB storage, view storage may be located on a remote host (one that is not running the view's associated view_server process) using either of the following techniques:

• You may locate some or all of a view's storage on a supported Network Attached Storage (NAS) device. Not all NAS devices support remote location of view databases. See Using Network Attached Storage with VOB Server and View Server Hosts for more information on using a NAS device for remote view database storage.

• On a UNIX host, a view's private storage area (but not its database) can be located remotely and accessed through a UNIX symbolic link. This arrangement resembles the remote VOB storage pool facility, discussed in Creating Remote Storage Pools on UNIX Hosts, but the facility for views is less elaborate.
