Check that your harddisk root filesystem c0t0d0s0 is not full.

Is there any chance that files from a later O/S DVD were accidentally copied to the root filesystem?

Do you have a backup of the root filesystem that you could restore or not?

Repeat: Does this system have externally attached iSCSI storage? Or is it not supposed to be loading such devices?

Please post the contents of /etc/vfstab so we can see the filesystems present.

You should ensure that the filesystem is consistent (fsck) before trying that otherwise it could destroy the root filesystem beyond repair. It's telling you of the inconsistency for that reason.

If you run fsck do not use the -y switch (at least initially) and see how much damage (how many questions) you get.

You could also consider using the "-o full" switch to thoroughly check everything but that, of course, will take quite a while to run.

Ok guys i finally got the machine up and running. I had to have some personnel from Oracle to assist me. For anyone in the same situation, the problem was that the root filesystem was using SVM (Mirroring) so to get the machine up again you have to boot into failsafe mode

Code:

boot -F failsafe

break the mirror then boot into single user mode from the mirrored disk

Code:

boot rootmirror -s

where rootmirror is the alias name for the mirrored disk. Finally do an fsck, reboot and rebuild the mirror.
