Local fix
For allocation of path buffers , db2 uses HPUX macro SYS_NMLN . By default , this macro has a value 9 , that means 8 characters plus null. So , the mount name and the path to the mount directory should be less or equal 8 . If you rename the directories to numbers, it might help. For instance , the path /0/1/2/ uses 7 characters .
Problem summary
ON HP-UX DATABASE MIGRATION FROM V8 - V9 MAY FAIL WITH SQLB_AS_INVALID_STORAGE_PATH
Problem conclusion
First fixed in DB2 UDB Version 9.1, FixPak 6
