HP-UX

Dear All,

I am new on Tru 64 bit Unix platform. I have a database server "HP AlphaServer ES45" version p5.1 of Tru Ux 64 bit installed. I have 4 hard drives in this system (1,2,3,4). My 4th hard drive is damaged which contain Oracle database files including partitions on 4th drives (u01,u02,u03,u04). The Operating system is loading fine and these all drives are accessable and I am able to create new directories in theses drives but I am unable to mount these (u01,u02,u03,u04). When I am tyring to mount theses drive then "cannot read from the media due to corrup files" message arise.
Although this is our development server and the data in this drive 4 is not important for me. Kindly help me in this regard that how can format/delete/recreate these partitions and able to install database again on this machine.
If there is any chance of recovery for this drive also let me know.
I also need Administrator Guide for Tru 64 kindly provide me a link.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
ntico

Im not sure I understood the issue, you can write on disks but cannot mount them?
Are you sure the directories you just created were not on root file system since your drives werent mounted...
Anyway her is a start:
Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B or Higher Online Documentation

Dear vbe,
Thanks for your reply. Yes I am able to make a directory by using "mkdir" command and then able to access the directory. Further when I issue "ls -l" command it will show the all corrupted directories (u01,u02,u03,u04,u05). I also able to go inside the directories but there is no data available any more in all directoris of the 4th hard drive (u01,u02,u03,u04). Is there any method that I recreate these directories or format 4th hard drive and then recreate these directories?

Thanks for the link.
Looking to hear from you soon.

Regards,
