no i didn't make any changes to db also all log files healthy and good but the data base has dirty shutdown
Can you try eseutil /r "databasename.edb" to see if you can do a soft recovery?

Hello,
When the main datacenter failed, do you follow the correct procedures to initiate a datacenter switch-over, as outlined here - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd351049.aspx

sorry , yes i do but let me tell you about big mistake happens
i have DC1 ( primary ) and DC ( Fail over ).
we try to do test for site resilience
DC1 Fail
DC2 started and db mounted , now it's time to recover DC1
the Exchange admin run : Stop-DatabaseAvailabilityG
i try to fix it as possible and DC1 is up
now the problem with the DB cant mount because of this screen
i try then soft recovery and derangement the DB and hard recovery still wont mounted
so , is there any check to make sure that dc1 no responding regarding to fail over
i run also show started mail box and dc server's started also i create new DB and mounted in the DC1 but still the old DB wont start.. PLz Advice , Help, THanks

Are DC1 and DC2 your Exchange servers? Are they also domain controllers? Running a DAG member on a DC is not supported.

no
DC is physical site wich include
2 cas server's member in cas array
2 mailbox server's member of dag1
dag is member server only .

OK, so I understand your environment, you have two sites; DC1 and DC2. You have two DAG members in DC1, with a DAG named DAG1. In DC2, you have how many DAG members of DAG1? Are you able to mount your databases on a DAG member in DC2? Is your DAG in DAC mode?
When DC1 failed, did you run "Stop-DatabaseAvailability

also i have the following error after the DAG 1 Destroyed , there is no DAG any more
i hade this error after soft recovery failed , i make the hard recovery and it success with this
Operation completed successfully with 595 (JET_wrnDatabaseRepaired, Database corruption has been repaired) after 67.49 s
econds.
also i run
eseutil /ms success
eseutil /d success
then i try to mount the DB i recieve this error
then i try to run this command :-
isinteg -s (SERVER) -fix -test alltests
result this :

Can you see if the temp.edb and tmp.og files are present? There should also be a CHK and JRS file.
