Some AIX 5.3 data in the SARDEV table can be longer than 8 characters, but the DEVICE identification variable in IT Resource Management (ITRM) is only 8 characters in length.

To circumvent this problem, make the following changes:

• In the Properties of the SARDEV table in DIS, on the Columns tab, change the length of the DEVICE column to the required value. This will prevent the DEVICE variable from being truncated in the Staging table.
• Next, go into the SAR Disk Aggregation job and update each Aggregation table with the same change that you made to the DEVICE variable.
• If the aggregation tables have already been created, then update each Disk table with the new DEVICE length. For example:

        data SUM85630.MonthDisk;
          length device $13;
          set SUM85630.MonthDisk;
        run;

After running this DATA step, you must redeploy.
