If you have a contract with Sun, open a fault and send them an explorer.
If not, you can use the format command to test the disk. Run format, select the disk in question (if it doesn't show up then you know you have a controller failure or a disk failure - if you can see another disk on the same controller - probably a disk failure), the select analyze, read only test.

You can also check for errors in /var/adm/messages

please post the output of iostat -En, format, uname -a, df -k, grep -i warn /var/adm/messages

you can also, do the following to see if you get any errors:

dd if=/dev/<device> of=/dev/null
