how to check solaris t3 status?

I replaced a hard disk (73GB) in sun solaris t3 storage 3 days ago, right now, both green light and yellow light on the t3 are still blinking. Is there any command i can use to see whether this disk is running ok or what percentage of sync has been finished? Thanks a lot! btw, they are mounted as raid-5.

If the yellow flashing led that is flashing is on the back, it's probably the backup batteries. The T3 array has backup batteries in the power supplys. These needs to be replaced every two years (for recharge/checking by SUN), and a timer needs to be  reset. This timer runs for two years, and then starts flashing the yellow PSU lights to indicate battery replacement time again. I just had this done by SUN on a T3 array on one of our servers.
If you can connect a serial console to the array, you can check the disk/volume status by issuing the "vol stat" and "vol list" commands. These are detailed in the pdf (Chap. 4.1.2) in the last link posted by yuzh above. The drives should all show status 0 if they are ok.
This pdf also explains how to enable remote monitoring of the system.
