Can I get any idea to solve the problem,since there's no backup tape or anything at all,and no mirror disk.
Can I mark the bad block as "fail" and resume?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: What should I do , help me please.
If this does not work then you can also try to force mount the /usr and then tar the important data to tape and then reload the OS.
Goodluck...

# fsck -y /dev/vg00/rlvolX
If you can't mount /usr after the fsck it has to be severe already and probably will not be able to recover.

SolutionYou must backup your data as soon as possible using a program that can handle hardware problems (tar, cpio, pax cannot) like fbackup. There are no guarentees that this will succeed if the bad block(s) are in the middle of a directory...the system may crash when trying to access the bad directories or inodes.

Re: What should I do , help me please.
The problem with a reinstall is that you'll have to configure everything again (mountpoints, networking, security, user logins, etc), install all the patches, then install and configure Oracle and finally restore the Oracle database.
It's too late now but if you had created a recent Ignite/UX vg00 backup, the system would likely be running again by now. And as you now know, there is no substitute for a full backup.

Re: What should I do , help me please.
Then you boot the box,
intervene at the 10 second prompt
type sea
hit enter
type bo p#
where # is the number displayed of the sequential device(tape)
hit enter
Type N to the question about interacting with the IPL
Right after getting the Ignite system is when you replace the root disk.
This will save you the trouble of reinstalling all your applications.
Take a shot with oracle down at using fbackup to get a current oracle backup.
You must do something about that disk.
I would also suggest purchasing mirror/us and setting your system up to mirror its boot drive and the rest of the os to a second drive to avoid these kind of crisis.
