Hi all,

Our Junior-while working with Developer changed some permission on root
file system, I don't have details but he was telling me developer provided
some script to change permission's and he accidentally executed on root
file system.
Now we are getting messages processes spawning to rapidly ... the box is
down. I started working with him to restore this box.
What are our options?
I know I can restore from mksysb. (He is in doubt about mksysb tape -
created one year ago :-) and searching one .
Assuming that we don't get mksysb -
Can I install AIX from CD and do importvg on whatever volume groups were
there?
Or is there any way to set / permission's to original one?

Thank You

SD
