You got transport error.

I'd power down the server. Re-seat all the disks make sure they are securely connected to the server.

/dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s7 disks probably contains the application home, it was complaining during bootup. check your vfstab file under /etc

cat /etc/vfstab | grep c1t1d0s7

or
cat /etc/vfstab |grep <application home directory> to see where it's mounted or what is mounted to c1t1d0s7

if you are lucky maybe errors in vfstab, otherwise disk crash means restore from backup tape.

Also I'm guessing here that you could be using disks with different RPM speeds hence
"Target 9 reducing sync, transfer rate" the faster disk will always spin down to the RPM speed of the slowest disk.

Is the HDD part number supported? How long have you been using this machine?

Thanks to all for the reply, I restore the /home directory from the backup and the server works fine.

Thanks once again.

hi tabreaz,

glad that backup worked for you ,
but i agree with sparcguy - there are something wrong with the disk,
if the backup did work for you - i'm affraid it will work as temporary solution.

definitely obvious esp the trasport error and writing to the disk.. maybe restoring the data to a new disk could help
