The Host VOB Storage node displays information about disk space used by a VOB, and the Host View Storage node displays information about disk space used by a view.
The VOB Space or View Space tab displays current space use as a pie chart. If the VOB or view storage spans multiple disk partitions, there is a separate chart for each partition. To view a chart for a different partition, click the partition in the Select partition to view box.
The slices of each chart represent components of VOB or view storage on the partition.
- To view the component and amount of disk space use that a slice represents, move the pointer over that slice.
- To highlight the slice that represents a component, click the box next to the name of the component in the table at the upper right of the tab.
The VOB Space History and View Space History tabs display historical data on space used by the VOB or view.
This display uses previously generated data that has been cached on the VOB or view server host. This data is usually generated by the Daily VOB Space or Daily View Space scheduled job. If no data is available, you can use the ClearCase scheduler to run the job on the VOB or view server host.
VOB space display
For each partition, the VOB Space chart displays space used by the following parts of the VOB storage directory:
- VOB database, containing such information as types, instances of types, configuration records, and event records.
- Source storage pools, containing the data for versions of file elements.
- Derived object storage pools, containing derived objects referenced by more than one view. The Derived Objects node displays disk space used by shared DOs.
- Cleartext storage pools, containing cached versions of file elements.
- Miscellaneous VOB storage space, including VOB administration data.
The chart also shows space in the partition that is in use but not used by this VOB and remaining free space in the partition.
View space display
For each partition, the View Space chart displays space used by the following parts of the view storage directory:
- View database, containing such information as records of checked-out versions and, for dynamic views, configuration records of unshared derived objects.
- View-private storage (dynamic views only), containing view-private files, checked-out files, and unshared derived objects.
- Miscellaneous view storage space, including view administration data.
The chart also shows space in the partition that is in use but not used by this view and remaining free space in the partition.
Note: For a snapshot view, the
View Space chart displays only the space used by the view storage directory. It does not display space used by the snapshot view directory, which contains copies of versions and view-private files.
