Check for both the environment and shell (in script and manual).
May be you have "globbing" off?

Code:
$ set -o noglob
$ ls *
* not found
$ set +o noglob
$ ls *
1                            a.u                          d                            i

You should also separate the variable name from the string with curly braces..
Code:
more /opt/IBMIHS*/conf/httpd.conf_"${iName}"
