VOB storage grows in proportion to the number of developers who
use the VOB and the rate at which they create and change artifacts in it.
VOB storage management is an important administrative responsibility. It
includes three principal tasks:
- Monitoring the storage each VOB consumes
- Controlling VOB growth by removing unneeded data and metadata. Much VOB
data and metadata must be preserved for an extended period, but some of it
loses value quickly and can be safely removed.
- Creating additional storage capacity by adding new storage pools to a
VOB, relocating data from one VOB to another, or moving an entire VOB to another
partition or host.
