This error can occur for many different reasons but it indicates that the glance program had trouble starting the midaemon process. Further details are available in ~/glance.err and/or /usr/perf/log/`hostname`/midaemon.err. See man midaemon(1). Older revisions of HP GlancePlus (prior to B.09.00 for series 700/800 systems and prior to A.09.07 for series 300/400 systems) had a Known Problem in which it was occasionally necessary to issue the following command when the above error occurred: rm /usr/perf/databases/`hostname`/*.data Do NOT remove other files in the directory /usr/perf/databases/`hostname`/ because they may be required for other performance tools such as HP PerfRX or HP PerfView.
