Troubleshooting
Problem
This technote explains why attempts to register and tag an IBM® Rational® ClearCase® VOB or View that is hosted on a NAS filer results in an error or warning such as []cleartool: Warning: OBSOLETE command or flag: "-gpa[th]"[] or []cleartool: Warning: OBSOLETE command or flag: "-hpa[th]"[] while attempting to use the syntax that is stated in the Administrator's Guide.
Symptom
The ClearCase 7.0 Administrator's Guide on the topic of Administering VOBs on the section titled Replacing a VOB server host for a NAS device displays the following example to register and tag a VOB on a NAS filer:
cleartool register -vob -host vobsvr1
-hpath /net/nasdevice/vobstg/libpub.vbs \
-gpath /net/nasdevice/vobstg/libpub.vbs /net/nasdevice/vobstg/libpub.vbs
cleartool mktag -vob -replace -host vobsvr1 -tag /vobs/libpub \
-hpath /net/nasdevice/vobstg/libpub.vbs -gpath \
/net/nasdevice/vobstg/libpub.vbs /net/nasdevice/vobstg/libpub.vbs
Attempts to register a VOB or View on a NAS filer using these options results in the following warning:
cleartool: Warning: OBSOLETE command or flag: "-gpa[th]"
OR
cleartool: Warning: OBSOLETE command or flag: "-hpa[th]"
