After upgrade to ClearCase 8.0.0.x, vob_server cores with mkvob or register vob

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote explains how to resolve an issue that can arise on a UNIX or Linux VOB server that gets upgraded to IBM Rational ClearCase 8.0.x from ClearCase 7.X.

Symptom

When you try to create a VOB on a newly upgraded ClearCase 8.0 VOB server, vob_server process cores and the following error is returned:

cleartool: Error: Problem starting vob_server for vob myserver.mydom.com:/vobstore/my_test.vbs                              
cleartool: Error: See albd or vob error logs on host myserver.mydom.com                                                              
cleartool: Error: Error initializing vob_server.                        
cleartool: Error: Unable to create versioned object base "/vobstore/my_test.vbs".

When ClearCase is started, existing VOBs may come up in locked state and core is generated when unlock is attempted.
