I am going to move a ClearCase vob from Windows 2000 to Windows 2008 server within same domain. But, I cannot access vob storage directory from windows 2008 server using \\hostname.

But I cannot use \\ here as it doesn't work. It allows file transfer only over RDP. Please advise how I can move the move in this case.

So, I have two questions :

1) Document says:

You must run ccopy on the host to which the VOB is being moved.

C:\ClearCaseStorage\VOBs> net use E: \\vobsvr01\vobstg
C:\ClearCaseStorage\VOBs> ccopy libpub.vbs E:\libpub.vbs

Is this correct because if I go to destination I will not have the .vbs file, then how ccopy can be used on the destination as advised above?

2) I cannot use UNC style sharing (\\) I can only use file transfer over rdp.

Please clarify on how I can move the vob in this case.

As illustrated in IBM technote "ccopy fails copying a VOB between Windows clients", you can use shared drive to copy the vob between Windows server.

For that, you can use the shared drive utility on W2000

You can also check if using net use \\ip.of.remote.computer works too.

  • thanks. I am still a bit confused with the ibm support doc. does it mean copy vob storage using normal copy paste to the destination and then run ccopy on the destination? – user2636464 Jan 30 '15 at 09:36
  • @user2636464 the doc lists commands (ccopy, register, mktag) to be done from the source vob server only. – VonC Jan 30 '15 at 09:44
  • But moving vobs section says "You must run ccopy on the host to which the VOB is being moved. " which mean ccopy to be run from the target server? – user2636464 Feb 16 '15 at 10:52
  • @user2636464 indeed: target server, which means you must have a share path pointing to the source server. – VonC Feb 16 '15 at 11:37
