As checked.
No error detected in /var/adm/messages.
No amber light in the disk array.

Is this a false alarm or just a warning ?

Please advise.

Thanks.

Peter,
this does not look like a warning.
Check the binary errorlog.

That just identifies the disk. You need to add "-o full". Or even better, install WEBES and use "SEA" to analyze the binary error log.

Peter,
The DECevent is useful to decode disk errors specially if you use a storagework array.
You can download it from http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/svctools/decevent/index.html

Good luck,
Larry
