Minimize process overhead

The most effective measures for ensuring good performance from VOB hosts are also the easiest to implement:
  • Keep nonessential processes off the VOB host. Do not use the VOB host as a server host for another resource-intensive application (for example, a database management system or a Web server) or for a critical network service such as an NIS server on Linux® or the UNIX® system, or a primary domain controller on Windows®.
  • Keep DevOps Code ClearCase® client processes off the VOB host. Do not use the VOB server host as an active DevOps Code ClearCase client (a developer’s desktop system, for example).
  • Keep view_server processes off the VOB host. Although you may create shared views on VOB server hosts, this activity can be detrimental to both VOB and view performance. Avoid it where practical.
