Network access to the NAS device can be configured as follows:
- VOB or view server hosts running Linux® or the UNIX® system must mount the NAS device with
an NFS hard mount (the default for most systems). If a soft mount is used,
the VOB or view server process fails at startup and writes an error message
in its log file.
- Windows® hosts
must establish access to the NAS device with the net use command
(or Map Network Drive in Windows Explorer).
Note: You must use the NFS protocol to connect a VOB or view server host
on Linux or
the UNIX system
with a VOB or view database on a NAS device. You must use the CIFS protocol
to connect a VOB or view server host on Windows with a VOB or view
database on a NAS device. IBM does
not support using NFS software to connect Windows hosts to NAS devices used by Rational® ClearCase® communities.
