Hi All,

I was trying to point /unix-> new unix kernel ( unix_64_A ).. but instead by mistakenly i did the other way ..my new unix ( unix_64_A -> /unix ) ?? ..
unfortunately i have only one copy of unix_64_A ..is there any way to solve this problem ..please help me asap .

Thanks
Vamshi.

I don't know that type of Unix, but better do not reboot if that machine is critical until you get a good copy. Not sure what this type of Unix offers for recovery. Don't you have a system backup?

it is on AIX .. I have only one new copy of the kernel ..which i intended to put on my system ( /unix -> /unix_64_A) ..but did wrong way ( /unix_64_A -> /unix ) ..I have used ln -sf command to link .. any way ?

Ah AIX. Usually you don't bring a new kernel manually on a box. They come with packages you install ie. ML updates and such.

/unix is the link pointing on the real kernel file.

To set the link the correct way, type this:
1st value is what you have, second is the name of the link to be created.

Just checked on an AIX 5.2 box; the kernels are usually placed under
Again - if your kernel images is destroyed, you might have to get it from your actual mksysb (System Backup) or maybe some other file backup you are using, or from another box with same AIX Version and ML, or as last chance from the latest ML CD's, ie. dig into the packages on it.

Thanks for your reply .
