    When I am running lssrc -a all the daemons are inoperative including inetd daemon.I am not even able to ping the machine.

    I have tried rmdev -Rdl intet0 , then after cfgmgr -v , then configuring my IP addresses.
    i have even tried startsrc -s inetd , but its not working.

    please help

    Hi, please see if the rsct is running lssrc -g rsct, if not, please check if there is an entry in the /etc/inittab that has srcmstr.

    one of the AIX admin deleted all the files in /var and /tmp directories. He thought if he would empty the dirs then it may work fine. There is proper entry in /etc/inittab for srcmstr. But when I try to run lssrc -a or related command , its giving error - system resource controller is not active. I also tried to run /usr/sbin/srcmstr to start srcmstr. This command is not giving any output and I am not able to start srcmstr. Now this machine has two problems : first I m not able to run src commands and second all the daemons are still inoperative.

    Hi,
    Please try this command /usr/sbin/rsct/install/bin/recfgct and see if it brings up some subsystems. This command is to cycle the RMC subsystem. For the tcpip, startsrc -g tcpip. Hope these helps.

    Never try to run startsrc -g tcpip.. this results in un predictive results.. either do run /etc/rc.tcpip or use smitty mktcpip --> select primary adapter -- > press enter (either choose start tcpip to YES / or just hit enter )

    Well if you have to work with idiots then good luck.

    I suggest you should sack the idiot that did it and then restore the system from a recent mksysb.

    There is no problem with the guy deleting files in /var but thought of him that delete can make the things set right is way too bad...

    Recover the server by restoring recent mksysb backup. it will take hardly 30 to 40 minutes for you to bring the server back to normal.
