How to mount a remote vob in dynamic view on clearcase

Question

Trying to mount a remote vob on my dynamic view but getting Error

when applying command cleartool lsvob getting this vob in the list and it is public

command i am trying is cleartool mount \clinical

cleartool: Error: The VOB storage directory "\servername\vob_store\clinical.vbs" was not found.

Answer 1

The simple check is to make sure the UNC path is accessible.

For Windows, its vob global path (vob storage directory) should start with \\, not \.
(The vob tag will start with a \ though: \clinical is fine)

dir \\servername\vob_store\clinical.vbs

If its path starts with \, the vob needs to be re-declared with the right UNC path.
I would say unregister/rmtag, and re-rag with the right global path, as in this technote, or using the -replace option:

cleartool register –vob –replace \\vobsvr-new\vobstg\libpub.vbs
cleartool mktag –vob –replace –tag \libpub \\vobsvr-new\vobstg\libpub.vbs

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password

That confirms the issue: the user must not be in the ClearCase_Users group.
