Re: Trying to recover DB after system failure.

Either you didn't install RS6000 asynchronous I/O or it is not running. (check by smitty aio as root)
Or you didn't run /etc/pw-syscall-4.1 as start of your boot sequence. Or async_io = true in init<sid>.ora and one of the two above reasons above apply.
