    Hi all,

    I'm a noob solaris administrator and I own a Sun Enterprise 250 machine.
       A couple of days ago, one of the disks refused to pass "every-reboot"
    fsck. Some time ago I had had some troubles with this same disk, but
    they were solved easily with "fsck -y xxxxx" command.
    But, in this case, when i try to issue that instruction on the affected
    disk it gives me back a "cannot open device" and some "i/o errors" which
    seems that disk has failed.

    How can get ensure that it is actually broken out, and that I _DO_ need
    to replace this disk?

    Thanks a lot.
