When you locate view storage on a NAS device, you can easily designate
a different Rational® ClearCase® host
of the same architecture to run the view_server process that manages access
to the view without actually moving the view storage.
The following procedure replaces the view server host running Linux® or
the UNIX® system
for dynamic view V4.1_Int. It stops the view, removes the old view
tag and object, and creates a new object and tag that specify the replacement
host and the existing storage.
- Log on to the view’s server host. as the view’s owner.
- Deactivate the view. Use the cleartool endview command
to stop the view and terminate its view_server process:
cleartool endview –server V4.1_Int
- Delete the existing view tag. You can use the Rational ClearCase Administration
Console or the following command.
cleartool rmtag –view V4.1_Int
- Create a new view object and tag specifying a new view server host
and the existing storage. You can use the Rational ClearCase Administration
Console or the following commands.
cleartool register –view –replace –host ccviewsvr1 –hpath /net/nasdevice/viewstg/v4.1_int.vws –gpath /net/nasdevice/viewstg/v4.1_int.vws /net/nasdevice/viewstg/v4.1_int.vws
cleartool mktag –view –tag V4.1_Int –host ccviewsvr1 –gpath /net/nasdevice/viewstg/v4.1_int.vws –hpath /net/nasdevice/viewstg/v4.1_int.vws /net/nasdevice/viewstg/v4.1_int.vws
- Reactivate the view on the replacement view server host.
cleartool startview V4.1_Int
