Operating Systems Solaris Interesting Disk Error Problem Post 302608351 by hicksd8 on Saturday 17th of March 2012 09:14:36 AM

Firstly, what I am about to say below assumes these are standard
"internal" drives and NOT iSCSI or on another RAID controller.

SCSI drives are a huge chunk of electronics and are in themselves highly programmable. All kinds of flags, registers, etc are held on the drive itself in areas technically known as "mode pages". It is possible that some mode page settings got screwed up during your upgrade. This is just a guess.

What you could try is to run the format command, select one of the drives giving a problem, and take the option to "set all mode pages to default".
This won't harm your data.

Just a thought.

Dennis.
