Hi Natasha, I suspect the problem is a missing link to the HP-UX kernel. The location moved between HP-UX 9.x and HP-UX 10.x. It's documented in the installation readme: 5.4 Support for PI/open on HPUX 10.0 ------------------------------------
Release 3.6.1 is expected to work on HPUX release 10.0. At HPUX release 10, the default shell is a posix compliant shell, not the Bourne shell as it was in previous releases. PI/open relies on a Bourne shell for many shell scripts and commands. To insure a consistent Bourne shell, a link has been made in /bin to a bourne shell. This is done at both release 9.0 and 10.0, and is located in /bin/pish. You must not delete this link. If you upgrade from HPUX 9.0 to HPUX 10.0 without reinstalling PI/open, this link will no longer be valid. To solve this situation, either completely reinstall PI/open from tape or issue the following command: ln /usr/old/bin/sh /bin/pish At HPUX release 10, the kernel file /hp-ux will no longer exist by default. PI/open needs the file /hp-ux to exist in order for it to be booted. If this file does not exist on HPUX 10, you must create this link yourself. This can be done with the command: ln /stand/vmunix /hp-ux At this point, PI/open should run without any other changes needed. Just out of curiosity, why haven't you moved to UniVerse?

If you're familiar with installing PI/open, please help. Database: PI/open Rev. 3.6.2.r6 Operating System: HP-UX B.10.20 Hardware: HP 9000 Series 800 System >From "PI/open Installation Menu" (UNIX script ./pi_install)I execute option "6 >updateisys Update ISYS account"and receive this error message: Updating /usr/isys ...updateisys: Failed to bootstrap shared PI/open. The message (OS: No such file or directory) in &PILOG& WARN.0 is obviously suspicious, but I have no indication what file or directory it refers to. Can anyone with experience installing PI/open make any suggestions?
