Yes, I have already used -d option to destroy the both raid volumes. Then after try to re-created w/o any luck. I thought after I deleted both raid volumes then the output of raidctl should say "No raid volume found" but instead the output like:

Controller 1:
list of four disks

thanks!

Did you ever do a reboot after the delete?

{0} ok select /pci@400/pci@0/pci@8/scsi@0/

{0} ok show-volumes ( Look for the inactive volume)
{0} ok X dactivate-volume (X is the volume number)
{0} ok unselect-dev

When you have completed managing the RAID volumes you have to set the auto-boot? and fcode-debug? variables back and reset the system:

{1} ok setenv auto-boot? true
auto-boot? = * * * * * *true
{1} ok setenv fcode-debug? false
fcode-debug? = * * * * *false
{1} ok reset-all

I did follow your instructions, when I did show-volumes and output says "no volumes to show". The format output shows four disks.

the raidctl output as following:
Controller: 1
Disk: 0.0.0
Disk: 0.1.0
Disk: 0.2.0
Disk: 0.3.0
Then when I try to create the raid again, somehow the output of
raid volume c1t0d0 contain disk 0.0.0 and 0.1.0
raid volume c1t2d0 also contain disk 0.0.0 and 0.1.0, should be 0.2.0 and 0.3.0

Anything else I can try?

Thanks for your help!

yes, the cfgadm -al output looks fine compare to other server.
I just talked to SUN support and they said there is bug and fixed in recent kernel patch.

Thanks very much for your help in this case, Incredible!
