Hi, thank you for replying.

I tried to set a label but I got this.

Running fdisk on a disk that is unavailable will show no partition at all.

No fdisk table exists. The default partition for the disk is:

  a 100% "SOLARIS System" partition

Type "y" to accept the default partition,  otherwise type "n" to edit the
 partition table.

Doing the same but on the healthy disk.

Looks like the partition information is gone on four of the drives and without 
it there is no way to set a label?
Creating a new partition will erase all information of the disk?
