If you look in the metastat output, you will see there is a suggested command:
Invoke: metareplace -f d40 c2t4d0s0 <new device>
The above command is to be issued whenever a disk is physically replaced with another disk.
Before replacing the drive, I would run the following command:
metareplace -e -f d40 c2t4d0s0
This will replace the drive with itself. Once you reboot the machine, issue a metastat d40 to see if the issue is resolved. If you have any other slices on that drive mirrored or striped, check them to see if there are any issues.
Should that not resolve, see if format recognizes the drive. If format does not recognize, it is best to replace the drive. If format does recognize, the next thing to do is run a file system check against the drive and try the metareplace command again. Should this not successfully resolve, then a drive replacement would probably be best.
