Invalid or inaccessible Agent Data Directory

The Configuration Agent Data Directory is created and used by the Agent to store log files, policy caches, and so on. The default location for this directory is /var/opt/apoc.

The Configuration Agent produces the following error message in the smf(5) logs when the Data Directory is set to an inaccessible location, that is, /dev/null/cant/write/here. To solve this problem, use the Configuration Agent Wizard (/usr/bin/apoc-config) to point the Data Directory to an accessible location.
