Assigning a host to a new registry region

After the new registry region has been created, you can assign hosts to it.

About this task

A host’s default registry server and region assignments are usually established when DevOps Code ClearCase® is installed. To assign the host to a different registry server or region:

  1. Specify the new registry host and region:
    • On a host running Linux or the UNIX system, edit the file /var/adm/devops/clearcase/config/rgy_hosts.conf to contain the name of the new registry host and optional backup registry host; then edit the file /var/adm/devops/clearcase/config/rgy_region.conf to contain the name of a region in the new registry. You must be root to change these files.
    • On a Windows® host, unmount any mounted VOBs, click Start > Settings > Control Panel , and then start the ClearCase program. On the Registry page, type the name of the new registry server host in the Use registry server on host field, and then select an appropriate region from the Windows Region list.
  2. Stop DevOps Code ClearCase.
  3. Restart DevOps Code ClearCase.
You can verify that the new region assignment is in effect by running the cleartool hostinfo –long command.
Note: If a host has been configured to allow remote administration, you can also use the host node of the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console to change the host's registry region. You cannot use the DevOps Code ClearCase Administration Console to stop or start DevOps Code ClearCase on a host.
