Hi Axel,
Maybe I got out of bed on the wrong side today, what do you have to begin
with
the vob_tag, path_in_vob, or vob_uuid? Your first mail indicated you had
only
the vob_tag and wanted the uuid, then this mail said you already had the
uuid
and wanted the vob tag. :-(
Given you already have the vob uuid, then you could :
ct lsvob -long -uuid <UUID> | grep 'Tag:' | cut -f2 -d:
Which is probably what you were doing before.
Given you have the tag and want the replica_uuid, then you could
try grepping the vob_tag file in the registry
(/var/adm/atria/rgy) for the tag (-tag) and extract the vob_replica.
eg. grep -- '-tag=/vob_tag;' /var/adm/atria/rgy/vob_tag |
sed -e 's/.*-vob_replica=\([^;]*\);/\1/'
Other details can be obtained from the vob_object registry file, if you have
the storage location, then you can get the replica_uuid and family_uuid.
Also, vob details can be obtained from the vob_storage area, eg. vob_oid,
replica_uuid.
It's a bummer that the desc -fmt does not have an option for the
replica_uuid
and only the family_uuid of the vob. Looks like you'll have to go under the
cover and dig it out either using the vob_tag or replica_uuid/vobid.
Cheers,
Sebastien.

Subject: AW: [cciug] Obtaining a VOB's uuid
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.
