Mounting Target Machine (or Server) to Clearcase VOB

I have read on IBM's Rational ClearCase manual that there is a ct mount command, but I believe this is only to mount a VOB from the VOB server once you've entered the ClearCase environment.

I am trying to determine if I can mount my target machine to my personal ClearCase view. For example, I would ideally enter the following mount command on my target machine:

mount -t nfs [server_of_view]:/some/vob/dir /local/dir/of/target/machine

Is it possible to perform a unix mount to a ClearCase view? If so, how would I go about doing it?

Solution

  • mount and cleartool mount are two different commands.

    The latter is for accessing a vob from a dynamic view (and is not used at all for snapshot views).

    The former would enable you to access a snapshot view, and you wouldn't be able to checkout in it.
