Are there some PowerPath commands that we can run to validate that disk is down hard.

#vgdisplay -v /dev/vg73 | more

Try running:
powermt display dev=all

This will give the status of all your paths.

powermt display dev=all|more

you can also try running

powermt display dev=c26t4d1

powermt display dev=c26t4d2

The powermt utility is used to configure and restore paths to logical devices, validate and check logical device serial numbers, display information about HBAs and PowerPath devices, and set load-balancing
and failover policies.
