Assigning an HCL VersionVault host's registry and region

Use this procedure to assign an HCL VersionVault host to a new registry server, a new registry region, or both.

About this task

Each HCL VersionVault host is usually configured during installation with the name of its registry server and the name of the region of that registry in which it will look up tags. To change either or both of these assignments:
  1. Specify the new registry host and region:
    • On a host running Linux or the UNIX system, edit the file /var/adm/hcl/versionvault/config/rgy_hosts.conf to contain the name of the new registry host and optional backup registry host; then edit the file /var/adm/hcl/versionvault/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 VersionVault 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 HCL VersionVault.
  3. Restart HCL VersionVault.
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 HCL VersionVault Administration Console to change the host's registry region. You cannot use the HCL VersionVault Administration Console to stop or start HCL VersionVault on a host.
