Removing a VOB

Removing a VOB destroys all of its data. Do not remove a VOB unless the data that it contains is no longer valuable.

To remove a VOB:

  1. Verify that the VOB is not in use. Clients that use dynamic views must unmount the VOB. Users with snapshot views should remove the VOB from their load rules.
  2. Remove the VOB. You can use the rmvob command or the Rational® ClearCase® Administration Console. To use the Rational ClearCaseAdministration Console, navigate to the VOB storage node for the VOB (a subnode of the host node for the host where the VOB storage directory resides) and then click Action > All Tasks > Remove VOB.
  3. Stop and restart Rational ClearCase on the VOB host. This terminates the VOB’s server processes.
