mktag -replace works there as well, but you will have to give it a lot of parameters.
rmtag and running the region synchronizer may be easier.
We're going to have to move our VOBs from one location on our server to another larger filesystem on the same computer. (in Linux, though there is a Windows box used for ease of administration)
Will we need to re-register or otherwise mess with our views to point to the right place, or will it be able to 'follow' the move, since it's only on the same computer?
My understanding of the operation is this:
1. Everyone checks everything in
2. Lock VOBs
3. Back Up VOBs
4. Unregister VOBs
5. Copy VOBs to new area, preserving permissions
6. Reregister VOBs
7. Unlock VOBs
8. Test
I shouldn't need to rmtag, or run fixprot or do a SIDwalk, right?
It's the same registry region, the same domain, the same server, just a different under-the-hood filesystem location on the server.

Thanks all! This worked well, save for some avoidable permissions issues.
Now all I need to do is get the moved VOBs recognized in the Windows region.
you need to also mktag -replace.
The views will pick up on the new location, no need to mess with them.
yes, you need to unmount & remove the vob tag. And you need to kill the vob_server process or better stop & start the clearcase finally.
Hmm. looks like tags hold the storage location. Maybe I got register and tag backwards?
