    Thanks Mike, and Thanks to all who responded.

    "/var/adm/messages" does not show anything at all.
    Was wondering if I ran "Format -> Analyze -> Read" will it destroy any data on the disk? Can I do this while the FS is mounted on the disk?
    I ran healthck -a, drivutil, rm6 (does not work for me) and what ever else was suggested from the group. Nothing shows any problem except "iostat -E" and "netstat -k sdnn,err".
    Sorry for the last question, it may sound ignorant, but at this time I am not very knowledgeable in A1000, DiskSuite, and RaidManager. Trying hard to learn.

    Thanks
