I cannot see pvob on clearcase GUI but when I list the vobs in command line (cleartool lsvob -s), I can see it.

In order to make it visible on the clearcase GUI, what are the necessary steps should I take?

Also it looks like a private Pvob, how can I make it public?

The Pvobs are visible in the ClearCase Project Explorer (type clearprojexp), not in the ClearCase Explorer ('clearexplorer').

The pvob could be used as a vob, but it normally is used only as a referential for UCM metadata (projects, streams, activities...), and not for data (files/directories).
It is an Admin vob for other (data) vobs, which explains why you don't see it in the ClearCase explorer.

For your second question, you need to use the cleartool mkvob command:

UNIX, Linux, and Windows: Private-to-public VOB conversion

To convert a private VOB to a public VOB, use a command like this:

cleartool mktag -vob -tag \vob3.p -replace -public \\saturn\users\vbstore\private3.vbs

This replaces the VOB's private VOB tag with a public one.
mktag prompts you to enter the VOB tag password.

    @user2370590 first, you can make a vob public from the `mkvob` step, you don't need two `mkvob` commands for that. Second, a pvob would be a `mkvob -ucm`: it is the `-ucm` which makes it a pvob. – VonC Jun 05 '13 at 19:24
