Performance Reporting Manager Setup Rejects Directory Names That Have Mount Point Longer Than 18 Characters (4856682)

During setup of the Performance Reporting Manager server layer, you cannot specify a directory name that has a long mount point name.

For example, if you use the following mount point:

/Sun_MC_3.5_PRM_Data

and then specify this mount point as the target directory when prompted for three directories during the server layer setup, the directory name is rejected.

The following error message is displayed:

The directory must be on a local filesystem.

This error is displayed only when the directory name that is specified for data files has a mount point name that is longer than 18 characters.

If the mount point name is short but the directory name is long, the problem does not occur.

For example: if the mount point name is /PRM, the setup will work.

Workaround: Ensure that the directory's mount point is less than or equal to 18 characters.
