As I remember (check Rational's help site - there are help pages specifically for using the netapps) you can only put the storage pools on the toaster. This is done using the "-pooltalk" option. The vob has to reside on a vobserver. This has to do with the MVFS filesystem design - vobs are mounted as an MVFS file system, and the toaster doesn't support this. Hence, the need to put the vob on a system that can serve up the vob. (sorry this sounds disjointed - I haven't had my coffee yet ;p )

Dear All,
We've just purchased ClearCase and I want to create VOB on filer F720. But I met difficulties .
When I run making vob command, there are some error showed.
#cleartool mkvob -tag /proj/view -public /proj/test.vbs cleartool: Error: Unable to contact albd_server on host 'cptlfiler'
cleartool: Error: Unable to create view
"/data/project/view/test1.vws".
We have mounted a diretory of cptlfiler on /proj.
Someone tell me that technical reason is that we can not do NFS mount over NFS. There is no way to created a view on filer without ClearCase.
Have anyone met this qestion like me? How do you deal with it? if it not feasible to create vob on filer, we can't benefit from snapshot any more for vob. Sincere thank for you help.

Amy
