Hello,
we have a netbackup media server which doesn't boot anylonger after
showing the symptom of showing about 30 Gbyte as used space on disk
which can't be accounted for using du -sh (maybe files that were opened
by an application but deleted on disk). I didn't had a chance to inspect
the system beforehand.

Has anyone seen this or an idea what is going wrong here?

problem was that a coworker booted the system with a full root
filesystem, so when writing the boot archive, it failed because an out
of disk spaced condition. We used the following commands to resolve the
issue:

boot -F failsafe
mount /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /a
bootadm update-archive -R /a
umount /a
reboot
