Specify UNC paths under which Rational ClearCase clients can create VOB and view storage

You are being prompted to specify the UNC paths on this server host to advertise as server storage locations and make available to client hosts for creating VOB and view storage directories. UNC paths to server storage locations cannot include spaces.

You can specify locations in two ways:

UNC paths chosen to register for Rational ClearCase storage

The top pane contains the UNC paths you want to advertise as server storage locations. As you specify paths, during a wizard session, they are added to the list.

The list includes these columns:
Name
This is the name by which this storage location will be advertised to other Rational® ClearCase® hosts.
UNC Path
The path to the directory where the server storage location will be created.
Type
Indicates whether the server storage location is for VOB or view storage (enter VOB or view).
Comment
A comment can be added when setting storage location attributes.
There are three buttons in the top pane:
Reset
Resets the configuration to what it was before you started the current wizard session.
Remove
Removes items from the list. (You must select the list items before clicking Remove.)
Browse
Browses the server file system to choose a directory in which to create one or more Rational ClearCase server storage locations.

Existing UNC paths to local Rational ClearCase VOB and view storage

The bottom pane contains a listing of all locations on this host that contain VOB or view storage directories. This list contains three columns:

Type
Indicates whether the location is designated for VOB or view storage.
Registered
Indicates whether the location is currently advertised to Rational ClearCase clients for creating VOB or view storage directories.
  • A value of yes means that the storage location is registered.
  • A value of no means that the storage location is not registered.
  • A value of no - Old Style means that the storage location is registered but was created by an earlier release of Rational ClearCase and will not be usable by clients running Rational ClearCase 4.1 or later versions.
UNC Path
The path to the location.

You can select items in this list and add them to the locations currently available to client hosts by clicking Add. As you add locations, they appear in the list in the top pane. Any old style server storage locations that you add are updated to the current format, which makes them accessible to both old and new clients.
