In solaris, you could try the 'format' utility in solaris to verify the disk. There are three non-destructive tests you can do. (Or you could choose the destructive tests, if you want to reinstall again.) Non destructive tests: type format, choose the disk, type analyze, then you can choose your test: read, refresh, or test. You could also try 'test-scsi' or 'probe-scsi' (probe-scsi-all?) from the eeprom console.
