If you know the hardware path of that disk or otherwise run ioscan -fnCdisk to identify the HW path for the disk. Then you can use cstm (or xstm graphic stm) to check the interface card for that disk.

#cstm
map
select path
info
il
....

Check the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log file for error messages related to the disk and after isolating it derive the HBA information by running ioscan.

John,

Also doing a vgdisplay on the vg that is located on that drive also might tell you what is wrong with the drive.

Also this command is going to show you bad blocks on a disk:

echo 2400?20X | adb /dev/dsk/cxtxdx
2400: 44454645 43543031 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0
0 0 0 0

All ceros is good drive, non ceros no good drive.

Regards,

Jaime.
