Error description
When creating a view on RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 with IBM Rational ClearCase 9.0.1.8 the following error is received: cleartool: Error: Failed to record hostname "<HOST>" in storage directory "/<PATH>/<view>.vws". Check that root or the ClearCase administrators group has permission to write to this directory. cleartool: Error: Unable to create view "/<PATH1>/<view>.vws". This is seen when the local mount point and the directory exported from the server have different names i.e exported directory is "/programs" which is mounted to the RHEL7 hosts at "/programs1" Using the command specifying "-hpath" and "-gpath" works: cleartool mkview -host <HOST> -hpath /<PATH>/<view>.vws -gpath /<PATH1>/<view>.vws /<PATH1>/<view>.vws WORKAROUND: Use the mkview command above.
Local fix
