About creating views across platforms of different types

Your HCL VersionVault administrator can set up storage locations on server hosts that run Windows® or Linux or UNIX. Any snapshot view that you create can use one of these storage locations, regardless of the platform type of the server host. For more information about storage locations, see the mkstgloc reference page.

For a dynamic view, the view storage directory must be located on a host of the same platform type as the host from which you create the view. If you create a dynamic view from a Linux or UNIX host, you must locate the view storage directory on an HCL VersionVault host on Linux or UNIX; if you create a dynamic view from a Windows® host, you must locate the view storage directory on a Windows® host that is set up to store view storage directories. You should locate dynamic view storage directories on the host from which you most often use the view.
