Periodic maintenance
Periodic attention to storage management and repository integrity
is an important administrative function. These topics describe VOB and view
storage management tasks, the checkvob utility, and the Rational® ClearCase® scheduler,
which you can use to automate many periodic maintenance chores.
- The Rational ClearCase scheduler
The Rational ClearCase scheduler
provides a way to automate periodic maintenance on hosts that are configured
with support for local VOBs and views.
- Scrubbing to control VOB storage growth
Scrubber utilities remove unneeded data from VOB databases. You
can control how often they run and what data they remove.
- About checkvob
VOBs have complex internal and external relationships that can
sometimes be disrupted by system or network failures or when a VOB is restored
from backup. checkvob is a cleartool subcommand
that can find, and in many cases fix, a variety of problems in these relationships.
- View storage maintenance for dynamic views
Encourage users to review, remove, and clean up their own views
regularly. In addition, you should periodically remove unneeded shared dynamic
views and clean up the private storage areas of those that are still in use.
