3.3 View Contexts and VOB Mounts

The principal MultiSite commands do not require a view context or mounting of the VOB replicas being processed. This facilitates use by administrators and automation of MultiSite operations through the schedule command.

There are some advantages to running MultiSite commands in a view, with the VOB mounted:

• Simpler command syntax. If your current working directory is within a VOB, many commands process that VOB, eliminating the need to use the @vob-selector suffix in command arguments.

• Better diagnostics. If a syncreplica -import command fails when running in a view, it produces diagnostics that include pathnames, which makes troubleshooting easier.
