Legacy database fail to restart

[Former Member]

The main problem is im totally new to SAP environment, and my boss (person who maintains and administer our systems) doesn't know english well enough to comfortably communicate, so it can be a bit tricky to solve.
The problem we are having currently started about 2 days ago, when our legacy database run out of storage and stopped functioning, so boss cleared the logs and restarted it. After several hour of trial and error we decided to seek help here. Here is log he sent me

If thats not enough I'll try to provide any additional information, but as I said thats not at all my area of expertise so try to treat me like a 3 yo. If there already is similar threat i have no idea how to find it, I tried for couple hours but its hard for me to find anything. I'm not even sure I choose the correct tag 😞
