tru64 goes down to halt

Because you didn't tell it to check anything...

scu>
scu> sbtl 1 0 0
scu> verify media

If this flags a block as being faulty, then

scu> reassign lba
scu> verify media start

Repeat as necessary. If you get more than a few bad blocks then replace the drive and restore from your backups.

Cheers,

Hello

I think 1 0 0 of values in sbtl is variable.
How can I learn these values for the server?

Thanks

scu> show edt

and from there you can get the device number.

After scu you may also consider to run fsck on rootdg as from the error it clearly reflect that you have you have AdvFS curruption.

Do you have alternate mirror disk?

Um, no. fsck works on UFS, not AdvFS. To check for and fix AdvFS corruption, you need to use fixfdmn or verify (both found in /sbin/advfs).
