Troubleshooting
Problem
This technote explains why the []Cannot bind an admin_server handle[] error results while attempting to store an IBM® Rational® ClearCase® view or VOB on a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device along with instructions to resolve the problem.
Symptom
The following error occurs while creating a view or VOB on a NAS filer:
%>cleartool mkview -tag NAS_view -host NAS_svr -hpath \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws -gpath \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws
albd_contact call failed: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = [WINSOCK] Connection reset by peer
cleartool: Error: Unable to contact albd_server on host 'NAS_svr'
cleartool: Error: Cannot bind an admin_server handle on "NAS_svr": ClearCase object not found.
cleartool: Error: Unable to create view "\\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws".
Cause
The NAS device was mistakenly specified as the HOST in the cleartool mkview (or mkvob) command.
When creating a view (or VOB) on a NAS filer, the HOST (-host) must be the UNIX®, Linux® or Microsoft® Windows® computer on which the ClearCase server processes (view or VOB) will run (not the NAS filer).
Resolving The Problem
Use the name of a host with Rational ClearCase installed (at the proper patch level) that will serve as a ClearCase view or VOB server;
Here are example commands when storing views on NAS:
- %>cleartool mkview -tag NAS_view -host ccvobsvr1 -hpath \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws -gpath \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws
Created view.
Host-local path: ccvobsvr1:\\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws
Global path: \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws
- %>cleartool lsview -l NAS_view
Tag: NAS_view
Global path: \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws
Server host: ccvobsvr1
Region: clearcase_region
Active: YES
View tag uuid:db21ac52.439d415b.a525.5c:6d:ff:f2:dd:1a
View on host: ccvobsvr1
View server access path: \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws
View uuid: db21ac52.439d415b.a525.5c:6d:ff:f2:dd:1a
View owner: DOMAIN\user
- %>cleartool lsview -prop -full NAS_view
* NAS_view \\NAS_svr\view\NAS_view.vws
