Re: Problem with AIX 4.1.5 File System & Oracle8..... URGENT! Production System is down !!

Hello, Kevin,
I still have not been able to fsck the disk as yet. I'll try fsck in Maint Mode once I have
imported the disk /dev/hd4.

You're right! Oracle problem was not related to the "bad inode problem". Earlier in the day
before disaster striked, I was installing the terminal server software. My guess is that
it must have updated the kernel. Since Oracle had been auto-linked to the older kernel,
the system calls made by Oracle did not work with the new kernel.

Once I had relink the Oracle products, everything worked, since Oracle system calls had been
incorporated into the new kernel. The surprising thing was that I had to also relink listener.

Appreciate your help and suggestions.
