SUMMARY: iostat and HDD

A lot of helpful comments! Thanks all!

Suggestions:
1. Check the output of  iostat -En
2. If more than 5 errors get the HDD replaced
3. the relationship between sd11 and the actual HDD:
look at the error you are getting for sd11 in /var/adm/messages

look at the path to the device

now run echo|format

look for the entry that matches the path

or alternativly look for  for sd11 in /etc/path_to_inst

for example

"/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@c,0" 11 "sd"


and match the "/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/sd@c,0 to the entry from echo|format

5. c1t12d0 <SUN18G cyl 7506 alt 2 hd 19 sec 248>
         /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3,1/sd@c,0

Very cool!

Warmest Regards,
-VH
