Bill,
Boot from CD. Go to maintenance mode and access rootvg after mounting file
system and restore your old directory

AIX Gurus...
I have a server where I just layed down a new copy of AIX 4.3.3 ML 10.
I had a backup of rootvg on another disk so I could get to any file I need
asap.
One of the Oracle people were complaining about missing something in
/usr/ccs/bin so I thought I'd try to copy contents of the old /usr/ccs
directory to see if that would fix his problem.
First however, I renamed /usr/ccs to /usr/ccs.new.
Now NOTHING WORKS!
I did not realize libc.a was in /usr/ccs/lib!!!!
I'm still logged onto the system as root and I can echo the contents of
/usr/ccs.new (e.g.: echo /usr/ccs/lib/*) but I cannot run any command that
would allow me to fix this: ls, cp, mv, tar, nothing seems to work.
I need to get this system back as soon as possible. Does anybody have any
ideas??
