Hi,
Doing some test in a non productive machine, we have uninstalled the Base VXFS SW, so now the machine doesn't boot.
Attached you've got a part of the panic stack.
Any idea about how the solve the problem?
We have tried to boot in single user mode with no success and tried to boot another kernel doesnÂ´t work also.

Thanks in advance.

Removing the primary filesystem code from the system will destroy it. There is no recovery except your Ignite backup or reinstall. Is there some reason you wanted to remove VxFS software?

Hi, I was updating to SG SMS A.04.00, my old bundle of SG SMS was discontinued T8685xx, and the way to put the new bundle T8687EB is uninstalling this bundle, and update hpux and SG SMS simultaneously.
After merging the DVD of HPUX 11.31 HAOE MARCH 2011 and SG SMS A.04.00 april 2011, I try to do the update-ux command.
The update-ux can`t do the job because a newer version of Base-VXFS already installed.
I had a bad idea, uninstall Base-VXFS to after reboot install the version of the update. Bad luck.

Ignite recovery is the only option.
