Just for proper disclosure:HP support suggested, on the mean-while, some great tools that they have such as SmartStart CD, or hpadu (Array Diagnostics Atility). They give good details about the disks/array/system including past error messages.
In my case the logs indicated a "MARK BAD FAILED" error message on the disk, which probably means it's a hardware error.
