A VOB storage directory must be writable by anyone who is authorized
to create a VOB in it. In addition, storage directories for VOBs to be accessed
by dynamic views must be accessible over the network.
Network accessibility requirements for VOB storage depend on the VOB host
platform.
- On Linux® or UNIX® system
hosts, the partition where the VOB storage location is created must be exported
so that clients running Linux or the UNIX system can mount it. If you plan to
use an SMB server product to make the VOB accessible to Windows® clients,
the SMB server must be configured for that purpose, as described in Configuring cross-platform file-system access.
- On Windows hosts, the directory (folder) must be shared.
For more information, see Windows shares for VOB and view storage.
If a VOB will never be accessed by a dynamic view, you can create it on
a partition that is not exported or shared.
