V440 raidctl gives scsi errors

Hello Sun Managers:

I'm creating a mirror of the internal boot disk on a
Sun 440 using the built-in hardware level RAID, but
I receive the SCSI related errors below. Despite the
errors, the raidctl output appears normal. I have the
same behavior on four different 440's. Is this bad or
safe to ignore?

We're on Solaris 9 with the latest (as of 7/22/04) patch cluster.

# raidctl -c c1t0d0 c1t1d0
Volume 'c1t0d0' created

Additional details:

# prtconf -vp | grep firmware-version
            firmware-version: '1.03.11.01'

# dmesg | grep 'Firmware version'

BTW: Patch 115622 was referenced in sunsolve (not in relation to this specific
issue,
but it was raidctl related). Anyways, seems we have the latest version...

# showrev -p | grep 115622
Patch: 113434-17 Obsoletes: 113313-01, 113504-01, 113628-02, 113965-01,
115622-01, 115597-02, 115699-02 Requires: 114482-01 Incompatibles:
Packages: SUNWadmc, SUNWinst

TIA for any assistance. I will post a summary.
