rm -R * is your friend OR how you should always check pwd first...
I start deleting the executables and realize the system is still up. Well crap, I need to stop it. So, what do I do... from the current directory, I type 'cd' bringing way to the top, then 'stopsap r3'. It doesn't work. Oh yeah, cause I'm root and it doesn't have the alias. Jump over to my other telnet session, stop sap, then hop back over to my root session... where I procede to 'rm -R *'. Yeah.... stopped it in time, but it still blew the important things away. You know, like everything under /home  My team is having a field day with me today, my new nickname is cannon fodder, and I walked into a magnet on my keyboard that says "You can't fix stupid". So, always check your directory path before using rm -R *. For all you Windows folks who have no clue what I'm talking about... picture typing 'fdisk' in the command line... except on a much bigger box

I guess it's safe to say my predicament wasn't as bad as yours.
I sent out a white flag............... OK folks here's the deal. "Parallels does not work" I got this error a few minutes ago. "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or currupt. <windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. Please re-install a copy of the above file. Add to that the Windows CD is not seen by the computer and i get a few hours to figure the whole thing out.

you should just tell your staff that like with all projects you undertake, you don't do anything half assed, when you set out to eff something up, you REALLY eff something up  re-jumpstarting the machine should take what? 15 minutes? get cracking... (assuming that you're using jumpstart, if not, ouch... you really should put the mouse down and back away from the keyboard )

The machine is back up with a new copy of rootvg. The database guys are now checking to make sure I didn't hose any of the binary files. Granted, it was an empty db aside from what the install imports, but the physical db still needs to be there. Oops.
I told our enterprise admins to take a flash copy in case I get 'rm' happy again

1) always take a full backup before you do anything (stupid) 2) VMware is your friend (snap it, roll it back, as long as you got your vmdk, you're all good) 3) we have/sell a BMR solution... heheh and it's good shit...

Of course I could have killed the processes... but why do that when I have another telnet window open with <sid>adm
That's what I get for trying to rush and get everything removed so I can start the install from scratch  It's all good now. That system completed the install last night and I'm post processing this morning. It was a fun experience and I gave my team reason to have a field day with me
