Hi,

It seems a library issue,

Issue folloeing command to see which lib.s r
required for glance.

# ldd /tmp/glance/glance/glance/opt/perf/bin/glance

and check whether those libraries r available or not.

Hi again,

# ldd /tmp/glance/glance/glance/opt/perf/bin/glance
ldd: Invalid file type: "/tmp/glance/glance/glance/opt/perf/bin/glance". 64-bit shared executable or shared library expected.

Santosh,
this utility that i have downloaded is for 11.11 as mentioned on the site.
but my system has 11.00. is it because os this difference the problem exists.

also i read the index file which says this utility is compatible with all versions above 10.x

The ISO image contains a swinstall depot.
You're not supposed to run the program from the image directly: the program contains libraries in addition to the executable, and the system won't find the libraries unless the program is installed properly.

Run "swinstall -s /tmp/glance", then select and install the glance plus evaluation version. After this, you should be able to start it with just "glance".

After a successful installation, you can umount /tmp/glance and move the ISO image file elsewhere.

If the ISO image contains software for HP-UX 11.00, archive the image file in case you need it later: HP-UX 11.00 is now out of support and HP may delete the 11.00 downloadables from its web pages at any time, so you may not be able to download it again later.

Hi,

Matti seems correct, it should be a depot software.

u can use it only after installing glance depot.

use swinstall to install depot as suggested by Matti.

Hello

there isn't ant depot file under /tmp/glance and when i do swinstall -s /tmp/glance i get the folowing error.

A Remote Procedure Call to a daemon has failed. Could not start a management session for ":/tmp/glance". Make sure the host is accessible from the network, and that its daemon, swagentd,
is running.

i checked the swagentd daemonis running

# ps -ef | grep swagentd | grep -v grep
root 402 1 0 Mar 9 ? 6:53 /usr/sbin/swagentd -x rpc_binding_info=ncadg_ip_udp:[2121]

also the system ip and and hostname get resolved.

i have attached the contents of the directories under /tmp/glance

Hi,

Pl. read the installation info. for the package
from the download site.

Also pl. provide a longlisting of /tmp/glance

# ll /tmp/glance

so we can get so idea about its contents.

This is some extract from the release notes in the iso image. it seems i have downloaded the wrong package. may be that is the reason i was not able to install it. Thanks anyways.
