Imho. You clearly do not know what you are doing.
Suggest you review your backups with all speed and hire a professional.
If you cannot get all "root" passwords this is going to be a difficult job for the professional.
Basic advice. Do not type anything on the keyboard on this computer. Spend your time finding the Sales Order documents for the Server and Operating System and any media or documentation which might help the professional. Finding the media is very very important.
Don't hold your breath.
Maybe update your CV ?

The default action is to volcheck all checkable media managed by volume management.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-i secs Set the frequency of device checking to secs seconds. The default is 2 seconds. The minimum frequency is 1 second.
-t secs Check the named device(s) for the next secs seconds. The maximum number of seconds allowed is 28800, which is 8 hours. The fre-
quency of checking is specified by -i. There is no default total time.
-v Verbose.

pathname The path name of a media device.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: A sample of the volcheck command.
The following example

WARNINGS
Due to a hardware limitation in many floppy drives, the act of checking for media causes mechanical action in the floppy drive. Continu-
ous polling of the floppy drive will cause the drive to wear out. It is recommended that polling the drive only be performed during periods
of high use.
