Help with errors
I am very new to the world of Unix, in the middle of a crash course as I write this due to a system failure for my company. This system went down approximately 24 hours ago due to some apparent thunderstorms that passed through. The problem is that my company, like many others, has laid off everyone that knows anything and only kept us idiots around. Anyway, when the system was brought back up, the following errors were reported by the system:
wd: ERROR: on fixed disk ctlr=0 dev=1/40 block=29 cmd=00000020 status=00005940, sector=995, cylinder/head = 3/1
hd: WARNING: out of inodes on dev 1/40
-sh: cannot make pipe
wd: ERROR: on fixed disk ctlr=0 dev=1/40 block=29 cmd=00000020 status=00005940, sector=995, cylinder/head = 3/1
hd: WARNING: Out of inodes on dev 1/40
-sh cannot make pipe
Can anyone explain to me what all of this means and if there is any way to resolve this issue short of replacing the hard drive? Main problem with HDD replacement is that we do not have the software to reinstall on the new drive. So, if we the HDD does need replaced, is there a way to create an image of this drive onto a new one getting all the required information?
I would appreciate any and all assitance on this issue as I am under a major time crunch right now. We only have about 48 hours to get this system back into operation before we start losing our subscriber's cable converter boxes.
Thank you

Name
crash - what happens when the system crashes
Description
This section explains what happens when the system crashes and shows how to analyze crash dumps.
When the system crashes voluntarily it prints a message on the console in the form:
panic: explanation
The system takes a dump on a mass storage peripheral device or the network, and then invokes an automatic reboot procedure as described in
Unless there is some unexpected inconsistency in the state of the file systems due to hardware or software failure, the system then resumes
multi-user operations. If auto-reboot is disabled, the system halts at this point.
The system has a large number of internal consistency checks; if one of these fails, it prints a short message indicating which one failed.
The most common cause of system failures is hardware failure. In all cases there is the possibility that hardware or software error pro-
duced the message in some unexpected way. These messages are the ones you are likely to encounter:
IO err in push
hard IO err in swap
The system encountered an error when trying to write to the paging device or an error in reading critical information from a disk
drive. Fix your disk if it is broken or unreliable.
timeout table overflow
Due to the current data structure, running out of entries causes a crash. If this happens, make the timeout table bigger.
Exception Condition
An unexpected system error has occurred. The exception types are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------
Mnemonic Description
---------------------------------------------------------------
INT External interrupt
MOD TLB modification exception
TLBL TLB miss exception (load or instruction fetch)
TLBS TLB miss exception (store)
AdEL Address error exception (load or instruction fetch)
AdES Address error exception (store)
IBE Bus error exception (for an instruction fetch)
DBE Bus error exception (for a data load or store)
Sys Sys call exception
Bp Breakpoint exception
CpU Coprocessor unusable exception
Ovf Arithmetic overflow exception
---------------------------------------------------------------
KSP not valid
This indicates either a problem in the system or failing hardware.
init died
The system initialization process has exited. The only solution is the automatic reboot procedure described in Until this is done,
new users cannot log in.
When the system crashes, it attempts to write an image of memory into the back end of the primary swap area. After the system is rebooted,
the program runs and preserves a copy of this core image and the current system in a specified directory for later access. See for
details.
To analyze a dump, you should begin by running with the flag on the core dump.
