Clearcase: Error: The VOB storage directory "VOB-storage" was not found.?

Question

I am getting below error while executing checkout in vob directory:

cleartool: Error: The VOB storage directory "VOB-storage" was not found.
cleartool: Error: Could not register gpath in the prefix map.

Answer 1

These errors occur when attempting to mount a VOB (first msg) or start a view (second msg) from the CLI for a VOB and/or view whose server has either had its name changed or is not available. The GUI error message is null. That is, a CC error box pops up, but there is no error message.

If the server that owns the view/VOB has had its name changed, the view and VOB global paths will have to be reregistered and retagged.

  # ct unregister -view -uuid UUID

  # ct rmtag -view view-tag

  # ct register -view view-storage

 # ct mktag -view -tag view-tag view-storage
