Fantastic...everyone's talking about remote vob storae...and NetApps....
just what I was about to ask some questions on!
So...my questions...
How easy are they intergrated with CC on an WinNT platform (ok, stop laughing
;-)?
Do Netapps make much difference (performance or other, wise especially on NT
platform)?
Are they worth the money (yeah I know - this is a'how long is a piece of string'
type question...)?
We are just starting the process of upgrading our hardware, as the number of
users is increasing, and so performance is decreasing....
The server: ie. CC, Vob, license - everything but views and is used by 20 users
- another 20 users will come online during the year:
Dual Intel PII 400mhz
256 Ram
19Gb scsi 0,1
100Mb ethernet card
Our build are a nightmare....a release & debug build requires 3Gb disk space on
the developers machine (where their view is) and can take upto 5 hours.....
cheers

VOB *database* storage...
You can put your pools onto a Filer, though. The Filer is just another NFS
device, so there is no difference between it and any other system that you
would put your remote pools on.
Truthfully, though, although Rational has not yet supported database storage
on a Filer, there are some brave souls that are using it that way without a
problem. Network Appliance and Rational really need to get together and do
complete testing to see if the Filer can be given full support by Rational
for ClearCase.

If you use a Network Appliance Filer on UNIX, then all of your pools are
stored remotely...

Quick question. It is recommended that the vob database is stored on a
seperate system to the cleartext pools (.c directory). Does the same rule
apply for the source pools (.s) ? Is there anyone out there with the source
pools stored remotely.
