Hi Sebastien,
thanks for your suggestion. I'm afraid I didn't pose my question very well.
What I'm really looking for is a way to determine the mount point / vob tag
of a VOB, given its uuid.
I have the impression that clearcase's command interface is a bit cumbersome
in this area: "ct desc -fmt '%On' <any_path_in_vob>" prints the VOB's family
uuid. The family uuid, however, cannot be used as argument to "ct
lsvob -uuid <uid>". The lsvob command rather expects a VOB's replica uuid,
which is different and not as easy to obtain (and not as useful). What I
really needed, though, were "lsvob -uuid" to accept the family uuid.
Actually, I'm looking for a safe, and efficient way to universally identify,
and locate any clearcase object (on any of a given set of hosts). Currently,
I think a pair "<vob-family-uuid>:<object-id-in-vob>" would do the job. The
ugly part of locating a such identified clearcase object is tracking down
the VOB's mount point / current tag from the vob family uuid.
Anyone got "a better solution" =;-) ?
Cheers, Axel.
