Assigning a Rational ClearCase host's registry and region

Use this procedure to assign a Rational® ClearCase® host to a new registry server, a new registry region, or both.

Each Rational ClearCase host is usually configured during installation with the name of its registry server and the name of the region of that registry in which it will look up tags. To change either or both of these assignments:

Specify the new registry host and region:
- On a host running Linux® or the UNIX® system, edit the file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/rgy_hosts.conf to contain the name of the new registry host and optional backup registry host; then edit the file /var/adm/rational/clearcase/config/rgy_region.conf to contain the name of a region in the new registry. You must be root to change these files.
- On a Windows® host, unmount any mounted VOBs, click Start > Settings > Control Panel , and then start the ClearCase program. On the Registry page, type the name of the new registry server host in the Use registry server on host field, and then select an appropriate region from the Windows Region list.
Stop Rational ClearCase.
Restart Rational ClearCase.

You can verify that the new region assignment is in effect by running the cleartool hostinfo –long command.

Note: If a host has been configured to allow remote administration, you can also use the host node of the Rational ClearCase Administration Console to change the host's registry region. You cannot use the Rational ClearCase Administration Console to stop or start Rational ClearCase on a host.
