If the Only snapshot views will access this VOB check box is selected, this pathname may be in the form of a local path to a directory on this host (for example, C:\ClearCaseStorage\VOBs) or in the form of a UNC name (for example, \\hostname\ClearCaseStorage\VOBs). Otherwise, it must be in the form of a UNC name valid for all hosts in the region. Click Browse to browse the network for a pathname.
