Greetings Tru64 Managers -
We are experiencing a problem with Oracle data files entering a status that
states:
"Unknown File Header Version read for file number nn"
We have received these errors for two different file numbers now over a
period of 2 weeks.
The last situation occurred over this past weekend. Actually, we shut down
Oracle cleanly - no problems Friday afternoon. When we returned on Monday
morning to start up the database - we received the following Oracle error
messages:
ORA-01122: database file 12 failed verification check
ORA-01110: data file 12:'/u01/oradata/elsdb/els_dat_04.dbf'
ORA-01251:Unknown File Header Version read for file number 12
What is curious about this error is we believe the file became corrupted
over the weekend for no apparent reason. There was no maintenance
performed, the database was down all weekend.
We are running Tru64 4.0f with Oracle 8i version 8.1.6 on a DEC 4100 (4-way
server)
We would appreciate any help you can provide as this is the second time we
have seen this problem of corrupted dbf files for no apparent reason or
errors being generated on either Oracle or Tru64.
Thank you in advance for your help.
