The ClearCase commands in Table 10 manage or display MultiSite information.

Table 10 ClearCase Commands Related to MultiSite
Command	Description
checkout -unreserved -nmaster	Performs a nonmastered checkout, which is an unreserved checkout on a branch not mastered by your current replica.
lscheckout -areplicas	Lists checked-out versions across all replicas of a VOB (Default: lists your current replica's checkouts).
mkattype -shared mkhltype -shared mklbtype -shared	Creates a shared type object.
mkelem -master	Assigns mastership of the main branch of the element to the replica in which you create the element. Also, if your config spec contains mkbranch rules and you do not specify the -nco option with mkelem, mkelem assigns mastership of these branches to the replica in which you create the element.
vob_scrubber	Scrubs oplog entries and export_sync records.

In general, all ClearCase commands obey MultiSite mastership restrictions in a replicated VOB. In addition, the following commands work differently in replicated VOBs:

describe: Lists the master replica of an object. For replicas, branch types, and branches, lists the mastership request setting.
describe vob:pname-in-vob: Lists the replica name and the VOB family feature level.
ln
mkelem
rmname: To change a directory, you must work in the master replica of the branch on which the directory is checked out. Changes to directories include
mk**type -replace: If a type object is shared, you cannot change its instance restrictions. For example, you cannot replace a one-per-element branch type with a one-per-branch branch type.
mkeltype -replace: You cannot change the definition of an element type in a replicated VOB.
rmtype eltype:type-name: You cannot delete an element type in a replicated VOB.
