Hi,

I would backup and the umount the domain and try to fix it with the verify.
Worst case recreate the domain.
Does the error affect Oracle database files?

greetings,

Michael

Before trying 'verify' on the domain, use the latest 'fixfdmn', to correct possible domain problems.
If not yet done, first install the fixfdmn CSP that you can find a below ref:

Hi all,
It looks like the HSG80 controller just hang, there were 4 drives out of 8 accessing this controller and this is where the domain panics happened unable to write to these domains.
I did shutdown oracle, shutdown the system and tried to shutdown other controller but it didn't respond, so I reset it by pushing the button, and called HP, we checked the paths, connections, error logs, and rebooted the system fine.
The only thing I am concerned about is because I have just pushed the reset buttons on the controllers, no errors were logged regarding what the problem was.
I am monitoring the system for any errors now
