As with VOB storage, view storage may be located on a remote host
(one that is not running the view’s associated view_server process)
Use any of the following techniques to create remote view storage:
Create a snapshot view that does not have collocated view storage (that
has the view storage directory on the view server host and the snapshot view
directory on another host).
Locate some or all of a view’s storage on a certified network-attached
storage device.
On a host running Linux® or the UNIX® system, a view’s private storage area
(but not its database) can be located remotely and accessed through a symbolic
link. This arrangement resembles the remote VOB storage pool facility, discussed
in Creating remote storage pools on hosts running Linux or the UNIX system, but the
facility for views is less elaborate.
Note: A Windows® computer cannot use a view hosted
on Linux or
the UNIX system
that has symbolically linked view-private storage (mkview–ln).
