Select drives for Rational® ClearCase® storage

You are being prompted to specify which drives on this server host should hold server storage locations. Use the following procedure to complete the required actions in this window:
  1. Specify a template that the Server Storage Configuration wizard will use when creating share names. See Share name template.
  2. Select one or more drives from the list presented. See Selecting drives. Share names are created, using the template, on the drives you select. Server storage locations are created on those shares.
  3. Click Next to continue.

Share name template

The wizard creates shares for the storage locations, naming the shares based on the template.

The default share name template is ccstg_drive, where drive represents the drive letter of the drive you select. You can change the ccstg_ portion of the share name template, but not the drive portion.

The default server storage location name template is host_share_vobs | _views, where host is the name of this server host and share is the share name you established in the first part of this template. VOB storage locations created by using this template will have a name ending in _vobs. View storage locations created by using this template will have a name ending in _views. You can change the host_ portion of the share name template, but not the share or _vobs | _views portions.

Shares with names based on this template are created for all drives selected as part of this step.

Selecting drives

The list of drives contains three columns:

Selected
Select the check box to select the drive.
Drive
Name of the drive.
Free Space
Amount of free space on the drive.

Observe site-specific share name rules.

Your site may have rules for naming shares or the target directories represented by these shares. Before using this drive-selection feature, which generates share names, we recommend that you consult with a network administrator to ensure that the share names are appropriate for your site.
