Hi Richard,

Sounds like you have an Ignite problem.
Verify that it installed properly & that you have the proper version for the proper OS.
Are you running 11.0 or 11.11?
Does that file exist?
IS it 444 bin:bin?

HTH,
Jeff

No the file does not exist.

I would download, or redownload, Ignite/UX from:
http://software.hp.com/products/IUX/download.html

I would then swremove the version of Ignite you currently have installed and then (re)swinstall the version you just downloaded.

It sounds like Ignite did not get installed completely the first time.

OK - verify that it is indeed installed..

swlist | grep -i ignite

Then the installed state...

swlist -l fileset -a state Ignite-UX-11-00

If anything is NOT listed configured then either attempt swconfig on the product or reinstall forcing the overwrite options.

Rgds,
Jeff

You could try renaming the file as in this thread:

but I think your best bet is to (re)download the latest version as in this thread:
