Migrating UCM Clearcase to new Server


As part of an infrastructure upgrade we are Upgrading our instance of UCM clearcase and moving to new servers. We currently have an Admin PVOB and all the project PVOBS are linked to the Admin Pvob and the Vobs linked to their PVOB. When moving to the new VOB server will this hierarchy have to be moved big bang to ensure the admin pvob is consistent or could some sort of phased migration approach be used. Does anyone have a recommended approach? Heirarchy


Solution

  • You should be able to move the PVob first, stating with the Admin one.
    (provided both servers are up, and the second one is accessible from the first one)

    The official documentation only mentions:

    If you use UCM and are moving a PVOB and one or more component VOBs, move the PVOB first, and then move the component VOBs.

    From there, you should follow "Moving Vob".
    The other approach is to use (for older ClearCase 7.x) Multisite to move/replicate vobs/pvobs.
