I broke my 7013 O/S by loading drivers.

I have a problem with my RS-6000. It's an old 7013. Our SSA adapters stopped working. Thinking it was a software problem, I installed new drivers from the cards that I got from IBM. (AIX 4.2, BTW)

The next reboot gave me an

888 700 102 0c8


Telling me there was some sort of software problem.

I logged back on using a boot disk. SMIT is all messed up in the mantenance mode. My IBM3151 displays but SMIT is unusable without the ability to use the cursor to get around the screen.

So, how do I undo what I did? Is there an "uninstall driver" command?

lsdev doesn't show these cards. It has to have something to do with this updated SSA driver I loaded.

Can you give me some clues on how to fix this?

If you applied the filesets and did not commit them you can run `/usr/lib/instl/sm_inst installp_cmd -r -B -f 'fileset_name' '-X'`

Otherwise, you will have to install the base filesets and do a force overwrite and then upgrade to the latest level.

Is the fileset the

device.mca.ssa.disk

files?

Also, what command do I use to re-install? I can't use SMIT.

`/usr/lib/instl/sm_inst installp_cmd -a -Q -d '.' -f '_all_latest' '-c' '-N' '-g' '-X' '-G'`

Where '.' is the install directory and -f '_all_latest' is all files or enter a single fileset or multiple filesets. To find the ssa filesets to remove do and `lslpp -L | grep ssa`.
