does
dd </dev/hdisk2 >/dev/null bs=32k
(you can abort after a few minutes)
work?

dont you have anything in errpt ?

if you reply, include
lscfg -vpl ssa0
lscfg -vpl hdisk2
lscfg -vpl pdisk0

I assume there is some physical problem, not a logical one; based on the
output of ssa_rescheck .

Also check your ucode-level with those stated at the ssa-support site (
somewhere at http://www.storage.ibm.com/ ; my ssa bookmark doesnt work
anymore).
