Installing and configuring TAS

Rational® ClearCase® supports the TotalNET Advanced Server (TAS) SMB server product from LSI Logic Storage Systems Inc. to provide Windows® computers using dynamic views with access to VOBs and views on several platforms running Linux® or the UNIX® system. If you use TAS, you must install and configure it on each VOB and view server running Linux or the UNIX system, that you want to access from a Windows client.

Follow the instructions in the appropriate platform-specific installation section of TotalNET Advanced Server Release Notes to install TAS on each VOB and view server that requires access from Windows.

Note: IBM supports both TAS 6.x and 7.x for use with Rational ClearCase. TAS 7.x includes a simplified configuration GUI, described in Configuring TAS 7.x to support Rational ClearCase.

To configure general TAS settings:

Accept the defaults for Admin user, Admin group, and so on in the General TAS Settings pane.
