All three components may be located on the same or on different machines in the network. Each storage pool has its own set of characteristics. However, if data is lost it cannot be reconstructed, only restored from a backup. Reliability is essential. Like cleartext pools, the data can be reconstructed, though it can be painful.
Poor performance can lead to unacceptably long build processes.
In addition to the VOB and view servers, ClearCase also has a license server from which a user must obtain a ClearCase license before accessing the ClearCase environment, and a registry server which contains a list of all the views and VOBs which are available to a user. There are two components of View storage, the database and the view-private storage. View Storage Components 2. These benefits result in reduced build times and increased productivity in the ClearCase environment. 2.1 ClearCase Requirements A ClearCase-based software development environment places stringent requirements on the data storage devices used Data must be highly available, usually 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
