Disk problem? from /var/adm/messages

Hi all,

I got the following error message from solaris 10 system.

Security Violations
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Jun 1 01:48:21 unix009 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] ASC: 0x44 (internal target failure), ASCQ: 0x0, FRU: 0xbc

The following are from /var/adm/messages

Code:
 
Jun 1 01:48:21 unix009 scsi: [ID 107833 kern.warning] WARNING: /pci@1c,600000/scsi@2/sd@0,0 (sd3):

This looks like a disk error message ?. What exactly it means.
What should be done to take care of this. Please advice me
Thanks in advance!

You have a bad disk block. Disks have reserve blocks to move bad block data into.

If you still have errors on the same disk, the disk could not 'heal' itself. It is time to back up the disks data and then replace the hardware, then restore data to the new disk.

One-off occurrences are not usually an issue.

If a disk throws these errors regularly it is going bad, and needs to be replaced as well.

as you can see your disk has only one Hard Error, not critical but i recommend you to backup the date and plan to replace the disk!

Your disk c0t1d0 is having Hard error. Better provide the output of the command format.Also shutdown the server and do a dummy replacement.
