What are partitions on this disk ?
Code:
format c1t0d0
p
p

Also perform these too -
Code:
cd /
umount /a
fsck -o p /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0

Reboot server and see, if this helped.
Is your another disk mirror disk ? Are you able to boot server from that disk ?

Yes the second disk is mirrored but I am unable to boot, because it gives me the vxvm errors. I tried to unencapsulate this disk and that's where I stand now.
I tired to unencapsulate this disk. Server is still booting with the same error.
Code:
Current partition table (original):

Where your second disk is giving error ? While booting ?
Are you able to mount your second disk on /a when you boot from CD ?

Check /etc/inittab (or /a/etc/inittab) to have these 3 entries (and more)
Code:
fs::sysinit:/sbin/rcS sysinit           >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console
sS:s:wait:/sbin/rcS                     >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console
s2:23:wait:/sbin/rc2                    >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console
s3:3:wait:/sbin/rc3                     >/dev/msglog 2<>/dev/msglog </dev/console
sc:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/sac -t 300
co:234:respawn:/usr/lib/saf/ttymon -g -h -p "`uname -n` console login: " -T sun -d /dev/console -l console -m ldterm,ttcompat

Add the following debug code to the /sbin/rcS (or /a/sbin/rcS) script;
after
Code:
                for f in /etc/rcS.d/S*; do

add
Code:
  echo running $f ...

Do the same for rc0, rc1, rc2, rc3
This should tell you where the deadlock occurs.

FILE SYSTEM STATE IN SUPERBLOCK IS WRONG; FIX? N

Is there any way of re installing the OS without losing all of the installed and configured programs?

Do you have invalid special characters in /etc/vfstab? (or /a/etc/vfstab)
Code:
/a/usr/xpg4/bin/grep '[^[:print:][:blank:]]' /a/etc/vfstab

should not print anything, and
Code:
cat -v /a/etc/vfstab

should look clean.
