Andrew,
DHCP can be used with ClearCase clients so long as the lease period is large
enough. Some set the lease to 10 days. Some set it to 180 days. Your
choice. With respect to NFS, the authentication specified in the NFS
standard involves DNS, not DHCP (at least directly). To pass NFS
authentication the hostname is used to obtain a DNS entry. The IP address
in that entry must match the IP address the host currently is using.
Certainly using static IP addresses reduces the maintenance activity in the
DNS server environment, but this doesn't involve ClearCase.

Subject: RE: [cciug] DHCP and ClearCase
If I got it right, the main reason for us to not use dhcp with clearcase is
that our NFS-servers (Solaris) needs the machines IP to be registered to let
them access them.
Our clearcase servers also runs on the solaris machines, so we need NFS to
access them.
I don't know if clearcase internally needs static IP's.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knew of any specific issues with ClearCase and
DHCP ?
We are running ClearCase 4.0 from a Unix box, but to Windows and Unix
clients and would appreciate any info that people could give me.
Thanks
