ACS 5.5 - Error: Could not open main par file for writing *** Error in creating main par file ***

Hello, Everyone.

 

 

I'm having problems with my ACS 5.5

 

After boot, the ACS does not start the processes 'management' and because of that, other process don't start as well.

 

 

acs2/admin# show application status acs

ACS role: SECONDARY

Process 'database'                  running
Process 'management'                Execution failed
Process 'runtime'                   initializing
Process 'adclient'                  running
Process 'ntpd'                      running
Process 'view-database'             Execution failed
Process 'view-jobmanager'           initializing
Process 'view-alertmanager'         initializing
Process 'view-collector'            initializing
Process 'view-logprocessor'         initializing

 

 

 

The web interface is not working and when I login in CLI interface, the following message apears:

 

Error: Could not open main par file for writing
*** Error in creating main par file ***

 

My ACS is currently in the version 5.5 as below:

It seems to me a hardware problem... I have two disks on this ACS appliance and maybe one of the disks is corrupted although my show commands don't indicated problems of this kind...

At the same time, the monitor screen, where the appliance is, indicates to me the following:

 

EXT3-fs error (device dm-4): ext3_free_blocks_sb: bit already cleared for block 30899244

ext3_abort called.

EXT3-fs error (device dm-4): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal

EXT3-f error (device dm-4) in ext3_orphan_del: Journal has aborted

EXT3-f error (device dm-4) in ext3_reserve_inode_write: Journal has aborted

 

 

Any solution different from reinstalling all the system changing the HD SATA Disks ??

 

Is it possible to replace the disks, one at the time, without reinstalling the system ??

I mean... is there any kind of commands to force ACS migrate all data to just one disk (setting the other one corrupted free) ??
