IBM supports
the use of several vendor software products with
Rational® ClearCase® to
enable Windows® computers to access the file systems
of computers running Linux® or the UNIX® system.
This capability is required when dynamic views on Windows access
VOBs or dynamic views on Linux or the UNIX system.
For more information, see
Cross-platform file-system access.
Two types of products are supported:
- NFS client products, which run on Windows clients
and use the NFS protocol to access Linux and UNIX file
systems.
- SMB server products, which run on servers running Linux or
the UNIX system, and use the SMB (or CIFS) protocol
to provide Windows clients with access
to the server's file system.
These topics explain how to configure currently supported vendor
software file system access products. For the most recent information
on supported products and versions, see the IBM Support for Rational ClearCase Web
page at http://www.ibm.com/software/awdtools/clearcase/support/index.html.
