From what I recall, the old SSA is just a plain box of disks with no fancy contollers, look for errors in /var/adm/messages, or disk not showing up in the format command. Also, the LCD display on the front of the array may show where the fault is.

I haven't touched one in a while, but iostat -En might also list the drives.
