Hi All,

    Finally my problem got solved. Many many thanks to all those who
    responded. The solution is to use alternate super-block number
    and repair the SCSI hard disk. The first alternate super-block
    number is always 32.

    fsck -y -o b=32 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0.

    The list of alternate super-block can be obtained by
    executing the following comnmand

    newfs -Nv /dev/rdsk/c0t3d0s0.

Regards
